From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia Justin Zackham is the writer and executive producer of "The Bucket List" starring Jack Nicholson, Morgan Freeman, Sean Hayes and Rob Morrow. The film, directed by Rob Reiner, was released on Christmas, 2007. The film tells the story of two men (Nicholson and Freeman) who are roommates in a cancer ward where they learn on the same day that they each have only months to live. When Freeman's character was nineteen, he wrote a list of all the things he wanted to do with his life before he "kicked the bucket." Nicholson plays a millionaire who adds his own wishes to Morgan's list and the two men are soon skydiving, driving vintage race cars and riding a Harley-Davidson motorcycle along the Great Wall of China.
