Although Jack Nicholson has enjoyed a 15-year hiatus from the big screen, frequent collaborator James L. Brooks anticipates a return for the actor.
The As Good As It Gets co-writer/director recently teased that the 3x Oscar-winning “greatest actor of the generation” is preparing to make an onscreen comeback, following a cameo in the Studio 8H audience of SNL50: The Anniversary Special back in February.
“Oh, I don’t think he stopped,” Brooks told People. “I mean, he’s gotten scripts, he’s reading them, and I’m sure we’ll be seeing them.”
