Morgan Freeman is attached to star in an untitled Warner Bros. comedy written by Josh Cagan and Greg Coolidge. Warner Bros recently picked up the film, which had a working title of Dirty Old Men.

Dirty follows an aging playboy who finally meets the love of his life, while his best friend/wingman of 40 years, played by Freeman, tries to break them up. Peter Segal, who directed Get Smart for Warner Bros., may take the helm in addition to producing. The studio also reportedly would like to reteam Freeman with Jack Nicholson on this project. The duo starred in The Bucket List, which grossed nearly $175 million worldwide in 2007.

Freeman can next be seen as Nelson Mandela in Clint Eastwood's Invictus when the movie hits theaters on December 11.
