Morgan Freeman May Star In 'Last Vegas' Alongside Robert De Niro And Michael Douglas

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

Morgan Freeman is in talks to join the cast of Last Vegas.

Last Vegas is based on a group of four retired men who are lured to Las Vegas for a bachelor party by their friend. The friend, after years of being a ladies’ man, is finally settling down and tying the knot with a woman half his age. Subsequently, the comrades, who are all in their 60s, head to Las Vegas for the bachelor party for the only single man left in their group.

The film already has Michael Douglas and Robert De Niro signed on to star in it. Douglas will play the ladies’ man who’s finally getting married. While they’re in Vegas, he and his friend, (played by De Niro), are also able to settle an old beef, which developed over a women when they were younger.

Last Vegas was penned by Dan Fogelman, and Jon Turtletaub will direct. Laurence Mark and Amy Baer are producing with CBS Films and Good Universe.  Nathan Kahane and Nicole Brown will executive produce and Matt Leonetti is co-producing.

Democracy needs journalism it can trust.

This election season, the stakes are higher than usual — and so is the pressure on newsrooms to soften their coverage, stay quiet, or just disappear. Independent reporting, the kind that answers to readers instead of advertisers or political pressure, matters more in a moment like this, not less.

For over 14 years, Atlanta Black Star has stayed independent and reader-funded. We have no corporate owner and no shareholders telling us what to cover or how to cover it. That independence is also our biggest vulnerability: nothing protects it except readers choosing to fund it directly.

Newspaper ad revenue has fallen more than 80% since 2005, and local newsrooms are closing at a rate of roughly two a week nationwide. When outlets go under in a moment like this, it's rarely the independent, reader-funded ones that get to stick around.

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.
