Drew Barrymore is 'actively seeking' a new project with Adam Sandler after appearing with him in 50 First Dates, Blended, and The Wedding Singer.
Drew Barrymore is actively working towards a new movie with Adam Sandler. Barrymore and Sandler’s on-screen ties go as far back as 1998, when the pair starred in The Wedding Singer. Since then, Barrymore and Sandler have led two additional romantic comedies together: 50 First Dates and Blended.
Barrymore now suggests to ET Online that another Sandler-Barrymore collaboration may be coming soon. According to Barrymore, she and Sandler want to find the perfect combination of something new before working together again. Nonetheless, she is “actively seeking” another project with Sandler. Barrymore elaborates below:
SCREENRANT VIDEO OF THE DAY "We might have mentioned something about it this morning. We're actively seeking. I know, I wonder the same thing, 'cause I think that is important for us, to hook into it. Maybe not be redundant of something we've done in the past, but not try to prove we're doing something different just to prove it. It's like an alchemy, you know? And it'll be a little of this, a little of that.
What Barrymore doesn’t give in her statement, however, is any sense of when a project may actually come to fruition. Wanting time to find a “hook into” the next film between her and Sandler serves two purposes. For one, it builds the hype for a well-conceived Barrymore-Sandler project; if it ever becomes a reality, it could already have an established audience of people excited by the mere concept.
If one takes an optimistic outlook on Barrymore’s statement, perhaps her next collaboration with Sandler could return the duo to their roots. Both The Wedding Singer and 50 First Dates are beloved romantic comedies that still stand up today, unlike Blended, which received a far less favorable critical response. If Sandler and Barrymore truly take their time, perhaps their next project could become today's classic rom-com.
