LOS ANGELES—After a seven-year hiatus from film, Jack Nicholson is expected to return to the big screen in an English language remake of the Oscar-nominated German comedy Toni Erdmann. Nicholson and Kristen Wiig are attached to star, according to a person close to the production who requested anonymity because of a lack of authorization to speak publicly about the project. Nicholson last appeared in a film in 2010 in James L. Brooks’s How Do You Know and has been considered by many to be retired from film acting. Toni Erdmann, from writer-director Maren Ade, became somewhat of an international sensation after its Cannes premiere in May 2016. Ade will executive produce the remake, but no director has been set.
