Morgan Freeman Leads an All Star Cast in ‘Last Vegas’

Posted byBy ABS Contributor | Published on: | Updated on September 2, 2016 CommentsComments (0)

Director Jon Turteltaub’s latest film, “Last Vegas,” is certainly not lacking in star power.  This award-winning cast shines in the adaptation of a screenplay by Adam Brooks (Definitely, Maybe) and Dan Fogelman (Crazy, Stupid Love). Jam-packed with Academy Award-winning veteran actors Morgan Freeman, Robert De Niro, Michael Douglas, and Kevin Kline, the stellar performances are not to be missed.

The storyline follows Billy, Paddy, Archie and Sam who have been best friends since childhood. When Billy, the group’s sworn bachelor, finally proposes to his thirty-something (of course) girlfriend, the four head to Las Vegas with a plan to stop acting their age and relive their glory days. However, upon arriving, the four quickly realize that the decades have transformed Sin City and tested their friendship in ways they never imagined. The Rat Pack may have once played the Sands and Cirque du Soleil may now rule the Strip, but it’s these four who are taking over Vegas.

“Last Vegas” hits theaters November 1, 2013.

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.
