Charlie Sheen's new TV show will be based on the movie "Anger Management"and Charlie will be playing the Jack Nicholson character ... TMZ has learned.

Sources directly involved in the project say the man who is making it all happen is uber-producer Joe Roth, who produced and owns the screenplay to the 2003 movie, "Anger Management."

We're told Charlie's character will stray a bit from the movie role. The plan as of now -- Charlie's character will be an ex-jock who got his master's degree in social work during the offseason. He becomes a counselor to defendants in the criminal justice system with anger management problems. But, of course, Charlie's character will have anger issues of his own.

We're told the deal with Lionsgate is not done, but is in the final stages of negotiations. And we're told, there is no deal with a network to air the show -- at least not yet.

Roth has worked with Charlie on 5 projects, including "Major League," "Young Guns" and "Three Musketeers."

Oh, Lord. Charlie needs to take a chill break now. He keeps experimenting with new things. Maybe this'll work? Who knows?

he should do a live-action version of Dr Rockzo the Rock Clown - "I DO COCAINE!"

Personally, I think that Charlie Sheen should focus on becoming a more stable parent but his new show will probably be a hit. He knows how to play a certain role very well and it sounds like the show will be a perfect fit. I hope it will be as entertaining as Two and Half Men. http://whosright.com/poll/will-you-be-watching-charlie-sheens-new-tv-show#
