To Do Before You Die: Make An Oscar-bait Movie

It's a Rob Reiner road trip movie, but it's far from a Sure Thing.

Instead of college students John Cusack and Daphne Zuniga, January's "The Bucket List" will see Jack Nicholson and Morgan Freeman hit the open road. And they're not trekking to California to meet Nichollette Sheridan. The two play two terminally ill patients who flee the hospital so they can cross things off their "bucket list" -- the things they want to do before they die.

We'd advocate getting an earlier start on the process (here are some ideas).

Reiner may have "direct another hit" on his before-I-die list. It's been fifteen years since he paired with Nicholson on "A Few Good Men."
