Morgan Freeman, Anthony Hopkins Together Again

Share

Morgan Freeman must not have been satisfied to co-star with one heavyweight, Jack Nicholson, in a box office hit.

Seeing that “The Bucket List” attracted droves of audiences, Freeman now will make a film with Sir Anthony Hopkins. Details are still being worked out.

The pair did appear together years ago in Steven Spielberg’s “Amistad,” which was more of an ensemble piece. This time, it’s a star vehicle. Maybe they’ll call it “Driving Hannibal Lecter.” Just kidding! But I am told this is a comedy, and a not a brooding drama, a “Dead Poets Society” but featuring college professors… 

Stay tuned for more details…
