Adam Sandler has a movie coming out today, I just gave you my Top 5 Adam Sandler films, and the news concerning him isn’t over yet.
Jason wrote a few months ago about Judd Apatow’s next project, which was to include Sandler and Seth Rogan, along with Leslie Mann.
It sounded good then, just to dream about Sandler possibly doing something great with a guy who knows how to write funny movies.
We’re now getting the basic plot of the film: A dramedy about the life of stand-up comics.
According to First Showing, Apatow started doing stand-up in his final year of high school, met Adam Sandler and then learned that he could write a better joke than he could tell it.
I like the idea of this film, which Sandler tells MTV is “very, very funny”:
“There is a lot of stuff going on in the move that is pretty heartbreaking.” He also adds that, “it’s very, very funny. [Me and] my friends who have read the script, all of us were baffled how funny it is.”
Apatow added:
“It’s a comedy, but it has more drama in it. A hilarious drama is what I’m going for,” Apatow said. “Every movie, I’m trying to find a way to go deeper, to tell stories about subjects that are important and make them less and less broad while making them equally as funny. [This film is] another step in that progression.
On another note, Eric Bana has been approached by Apatow to co-star in the film alongside Sandler.
For those of you looking for Sandler to finally have that great comedy, this could be the one. What do you think? Do Apatow and Sandler sound like a winning combo?
Actually sounds like an interesting combo. I wonder if rob Schneider will be in it?
He’s Sandler’s shadow. Didn’t you see the MTV Movie Awards?
“You can do it!!”
Lets hope this is funny. Also lets hope he doesn’t try to have an accent.
