Back in February it was reported that Jack Nicholson is set to make his return to the big screen to star in a remake of the acclaimed 2016 German comedy Toni Erdmann, and now The Tracking Board is reporting that the project has found its writers in the Girls duo of Lena Dunham and Jenni Konner.
The film will mark Nicholson’s first appearance since 2010’s How Do You Know and sees him playing a father who attempts to reconnect with his workaholic daughter (Kristen Wiig) by posing as a high-flying life coach to her company’s CEO.
