This is fun to imagine: Jack Nicholson is in talks to join the cast of an untitled romantic comedy directed by James L. Brooks (Terms of Endearment, As Good as It Gets) as the blueblood father of a character played by Paul Rudd. The cast also includes Reese Witherspoon and Owen Wilson and the story "involves a love triangle, with Rudd playing a white-collar executive vying for Witherspoon's affections, and Wilson portraying a professional baseball pitcher who is also a love interest."
Nicholson's part was originally supposed to go to Bill Murray, but apparently "Murray's interest in the project waned and he fell out of touch," so Brooks asked Nicholson to step in. As Variety notes, Brooks' projects have led to two of Nicholson's three Oscar wins (one for Terms of Endearment and one for As Good as It Gets), so maybe this new comedy will bring Nicholson more good things.
Will Nicholson and Rudd make a good father-son team? Do you think Nicholson's a better fit in that role than Bill Murray would have been?

This might be a cute movie:) love Reese Witherspoon
1OMG. Reese and Paul together? Yes! I adore her and I find Paul Rudd so hilarious and cute in romantic comedy movies. I wanna see it.
2he doesn't play dads often, does he?
3Nicholson/Rudd as a father/son team sounds great to me. Murray appears to me a better grandfather or great-grandfather to Rudd.
4They're filming in Philly, right across from my parents work! I can't wait to see this pair!
5Although I can't recall a movie where I've seen Jack Nicholson as a father, I'm sure he'll do great!
They are filming this right outside my job, as we speak!! A few employee's have met Reese, and I HOPE I get to too!! They've made our hospital circle a movie set, there are props everywhere! Trailers down the street, Light posts, benches, fake signs! They even put up signs of what this hospital will be called, because they are changing the name for the movie... But, I wont tell what it is, don't know if that is legal!! I cant wait to see it and I HOPE I get to meet Reese!!
