RadarOnline published the report last night, quoting a “well-placed Hollywood film insider” as saying that Nicholson had quietly left his movie career behind.
The insider reportedly said:

E! quotes another source saying that the star of One Flew Over The Cuckoo’s Nest is “actively reading scripts and is looking forward to his next project.”
