I almost dismissed this source and their story as a joker with fabrication until they provided me a pretty solid piece of evidence, so I’m going to go with it.
The source SWEARS that this legendary – basically retired — actor spends the majority of their time in the mansion, watching old movies starring themselves, desperately in need of therapy and anger management.
We’ve found the male Norma Desmond.
So, tell me, Gossipers:
Who is our actor?

Gene Hackman

Gene Hackman isn’t basically retired. He’s fully retired and won’t even entertain offers. My bosses have tried to send scripts to his house for years and get told no.

Nicholson’s last film is that bloody horrible Reese Witherspoon one.

“As a joker”. Which was one of Nicholson’s best known roles.

Wikipedia tells me Hackman writes novels now, so he can’t just be sitting on his arse watching his old movies like the bi says.

I’ve read the reviews. He definitely could be “sitting on his arse watching his old movies” while he writes that pulp.

The gays? Do you think gay people are one collective unit that always agrees? Take the homophobia elsewhere.

Sorry to derail the topic, but I will understand why they failed to remake Sunset Boulevard with Glenn Close. One of the few times a remake could work.

Don’t piss all over Gloria Swanson like that. Nothing can beat the original.

My worst fear, as a gay man, that they remake Sunset Boulevard with Meryl Streep.

I felt that comment before I even read it. That’s a total Hollywood move and we need to burn buildings to the ground if is even considered. What Ever Happened to Baby Jane can’t be remade with Streep either. Blegh!! 😦

Cate Blanchett and Nicole Kidman is the only pair that works in my mind for a WEHTBJ remake. Maybe Julianne Moore, but I’m tired of her.

I genuinely think you need two actresses that resent each other in real life to make it work. Maybe Winona Ryder and Gwyneth Paltrow?

Gotta be Jack Nicholson.

Nicholson has a remake of Toni Erdmann in the works. A rumor I’ve heard about Jack is that he loves comedy movies, even the bad ones, and is known for seeking friendships with comedic actors. A former assistant I knew back in the day can verify that. Will Ferrell is producing the remake. Add 2 and 2 together.

Isn’t that why he worked with Sandler? 🙂

It would explain a bloody lot. Decent film and Jack is great in it, but didn’t think those two would team up for anything!!

Nicholson fits the “basically retired” part perfectly since he’s never officially announced his retirement. Reluctant to believe any blind item about Nicholson that doesn’t involve him banging nonstop, though.
