Sunday, November 1, 2009 at 11:22PM Morgan Freeman Is a 'Dirty Old' Man
We just updated the path of the live-action The Jetsons, which will move forward without its long-time developer, Robert Rodriguez. The theory being pushed is that Peter Segal (Get Smart) would be brought in to direct. If that does happen, it'll have to wait.

Segal is set to direct a new comedy starring Morgan Freeman called Dirty Old Men, which Warner Bros. just picked up from writers Josh Cagan and Greg Coolidge. The Hollywood Reporter says the project "revolves around an aging playboy who finally meets the love of his life and his best friend and wingman for the past 40 years (Freeman) who does everything to break up the new couple."
It's being described as similar to Wedding Crashers and The 40-Year-Old Virgin. Only with an aroma of analgesic ointment.
I wonder if Morgan's character in Dirty Old Men will have any peccadilloes quite as trashy as his own: He's engaged not just to a woman 45 years his junior, but also his former step-granddaughter. Icky.
Freeman likes to keep busy, often taking roles that are far below his standing. Some of that can't really be avoided if you want to work fairly often. I would only hope, though, this is a fantastic script since the film will come on the heels of what looks like a possible Oscar nomination for Invictus. I'd hate to see him go slummin' right after that.
