Adam Sandler is on a roll at the moment. His Netflix films remain hugely successful and he’s reportedly on the cusp of a further deal worth hundreds of millions of dollars for a new series of projects with the streaming giants. He’s also silenced his critics by starring in the amazing Uncut Gems, one of the periodic prestige films he does to remind people he can actually act.
Now there’s a rumor that one of his upcoming projects will reunite him with his most iconic co-star. Famed leaker Daniel Richtman has posted that Sandler and Drew Barrymore are reuniting once more for a new exclusive Netflix comedy. This will be his fourth collaboration with Barrymore, with the pair appearing opposite one another in The Wedding Singer (1998), 50 First Dates (2004) and Blended (2014).
To those who keep an eye on the Sandler rumor mill, this won’t come as a huge surprise. The pair teased a new project together at the recent MTV Movie & TV Awards: Greatest of All Time virtual event. They talked about how much they loved to work together, though agreed that 2020 had “sucked”. But Sandler saw a silver lining:
“Yeah, that’s true, but also it’s a new decade, so we get to make another movie together.”
Their first team-up, The Wedding Singer is fairly highly regarded amongst Sandler’s comedies and 50 First Dates at least has a fun core concept (which the pair recently revisited on The Drew Barrymore Show). But the less said about 2014’s Blended the better, which felt like an excuse for Sandler and his buddies to hang out at the Sun City resort in South Africa. Whatever your opinion of his output, Sandler’s recent films have at least felt like he’s putting some effort into them.
Let’s hope this new Adam Sandler/Drew Barrymore collab brings the goods. More on it and Sandler’s megabucks new Netflix deal as soon as we hear it.
