Reunited , and they expect so good .
Toni ColletteandNicholas Houltmight reunite on the big screen after 21 years!
According to theHollywood Reporter,92-year-old actor-directorClint Eastwood(Unforgiven,Million Dollar Baby) has a new film in the works with Warner Bros. He intends to cast Nicholas and Toni for the leading roles.
His next feature isJuror No. 2,a legal drama that follows a conflicted juror (possibly Hoult) who must decide whether or not to reveal his involvement in a murder trial. Collette is set to play the prosecutor.
But, as exciting as this new movie sounds, I can’t get over the fact that this could mean a reunion for the actors who played alongside each other over two decades ago inAbout A Boy.
The 2002romantic comedywas an adaptation of the Nick Hornby novel of the same name about a man named Will, played byHugh Grant, who goes to a single parents' community group to pick up women.
Unfortunately, Will’s playboy plans are thwarted by the arrival of an awkward boy, Marcus (played by Nicholas), and his troubled mother, Fiona (played by Toni).
Toni and Nicholas had brilliant on-screen chemistry in 2002, so it’ll be great to see them together again.
Here’s Toni 21 years ago.
And this is what theMafia Mammaactor looks like now.
Here’s Nicholas 21 years ago.
And this is what theRenfieldactor looks like now.
And here’s Nicholas and Toni at the Tribeca Film Festival inNew YorkCity back in 2002.
I simply can’t wait for round two of their on-screen magic.
