Steve Carell, Bryan Cranston, Laurence Fishburne to Star in Richard Linklater's 'Sort of' Sequel to Jack Nicholson's 'The Last Detail'

Steve Carell, Bryan Cranston and Laurence Fishburne are in talks to star in Richard Linklater’s next movie, Last Flag Flying.

The project is Linklater’s long-in-the-works “sort of” sequel to the classic 1970s dramatic comedy The Last Detail that starred Jack Nicholson.

Last Flag was Darryl Ponsican’s sequel — published in 2005 — to his own 1970 landmark novel. It was made into the 1973 comedy-drama that was directed by Hal Ashby and starred Jack Nicholson, Randy Quaid and Otis Young. The Last Detail was nominated for three Oscars and Nicholson won a BAFTA for his work.

In 2003, 30 years after they served together in the Vietnam War, former Navy Corps medic Richard “Doc” Shepherd (Steve Carell) reunites with ex-Marines Sal (Bryan Cranston) and Mueller (Laurence Fishburne) on a different type of mission: to bury Doc’s son, a young Marine killed in the Iraq War. Doc decides to forgo burial at Arlington Cemetery and, with the help of his old buddies, takes the casket on a bittersweet trip up the East Coast to his home in suburban New Hampshire. Along the way, Doc, Sal and Mueller reminisce and come to terms with shared experiences of the war that continue to shape their lives. Director Richard Linklater and author Darryl Ponicsan collaborated on the screenplay which follows the trio as they wrestle with the pangs of war both past and present.
