Overview

• In a new clip from The Drew Barrymore Show, Barrymore said she is “really bullish” on remaking the 1992 dark comedy with Aniston and Sandler and noted they have “batted around some ideas.”
• Barrymore added that both stars know she wants to team up with them, and she named Sandler as the person most likely to lure her back to a major screen role after Santa Clarita Diet ended in 2019.
• The trio’s history includes Barrymore’s films with Sandler (The Wedding Singer, 50 First Dates, Blended) and her ensemble turn with Aniston in He’s Just Not That Into You, while Aniston and Sandler have also headlined multiple projects together.
• Outlets stress the concept is only a conversation at this point, with no announced attachments, script development, or studio involvement.
• The original 1992 film, directed by Robert Zemeckis and starring Meryl Streep, Goldie Hawn, and Bruce Willis, won an Oscar for visual effects and has since inspired a Broadway musical now playing at the Lunt-Fontanne Theatre.
