Jack Nicholson to return to big screen after 7 years

Jack Nicholson is expected to return to the big screen after a seven year hiatus.

The American actor will perform in an English language remake of the Oscar-nominated German comedy ‘Toni Erdmann’.

It would be the first time Nicholson will have taken part in a film since his role in James L Brooks’s ‘How Do You Know’ in 2010. He had announced his retirement in 2013.

Writer, director and producer Maren Ade will executive produce the remake, but no director has been set yet.

‘Toni Erdmann’, which is nominated for the best foreign language Oscar this year, is about a father with a tendency for corny pranks who tries to get his overworked grown daughter to lighten up.
