"Charlie Sheen has reportedly signed up to play the lead role in an upcoming television remake of 2003 film Anger Management. Sheen will portray the character played by Jack Nicholson in the original movie if the project gets the green light, reports TMZ. Adam Sandler also starred in the slapstick comedy. Original producer Joe Roth is behind the remake, according to the website. Roth also owns the film&amp;#039;s screenplay rights. The former Two and a Half Men actor will play an ex-jock with a master&amp;#039;s degree in social work. The character becomes a counsellor to defendants in the criminal justice system with anger management problems. The project is undergoing final negotiations with Lionsgate for production, although no deal has been made with a network. Charlie Sheen will receive a Comedy Central roast that will purposely air at the same time as the premiere episode of Two and Half Men with new star Ashton Kutcher. Sheen was fired from Two and a Half Men in March after publicly feuding with series creator Chuck Lorre.
