Robert De Niro Teams With Michael Douglas In 'Last Vegas'

Posted byBy Stan Castle | Published on: CommentsComments (0)

Robert De Niro has agreed to join Michael Douglas in the upcoming CBS Films’ comedy Last Vegas.

Directed by Jon Turteltaub and written by Dan Fogelman, Last Vegas centers around a group of four retired men who are called on for a Las Vegas bachelor party by their mutual friend. The friend, after 40 years of playing the field, is finally marrying a woman half his age, and subsequently leading the 60-year-old men to Las Vegas for his bachelor party.

According to CBS Films, De Niro will play “the party-averse Paddy Connelly, who reluctantly agrees to fly to Vegas at the request of his friends.” The veteran actor’s character has an old riff with Douglas’ character, which developed when they were younger, over a girl.

The Oscar-winner De Niro was most recently seen in the movie Being Flynn and is currently filming Hands of Stone. He also recently finished up work on The Wedding; The Silver Linings Playbook and Killing Season.

Independent journalism doesn't fund itself.

We hope this story was worth your time. For over 14 years, Atlanta Black Star has stayed Black-owned and independently run. We didn't get here by waiting on ad budgets that were never built to prioritize us. Our readers did that.

Corporate support for Black media has always been thin. Outlets like ours get roughly 1% of the $170 billion spent on U.S. advertising each year, and that margin is shrinking further as advertisers walk back the DEI-linked commitments they made in 2020. That's the backdrop. It's not why we're asking.

We know a request for support isn't why you came here. But without readers choosing to fund this work directly, the depth of reporting we can do at home and abroad shrinks along with everyone else's. If you're not in a position to give, that doesn't change how much we value you as a reader.

If you are able to, a recurring contribution does more for us than a single one-time gift, because it lets us plan the next investigation instead of just the next invoice. It takes about 30 seconds, no long form, no account. Thank you for continuing to support independent journalism and freedom of the press.
