Drew Barrymore Pitches ‘Death Becomes Her’ Remake With Adam Sandler and Jennifer Aniston

Barrymore floated the idea on her talk show with no formal development or studio commitment announced.

Overview

  • On The Drew Barrymore Show, she said she is “really bullish” on remaking the 1992 cult film and joked they also toss around a Three’s Company movie.
  • She publicly named Adam Sandler and Jennifer Aniston as her preferred co-stars for the project, which would mark the trio’s first film together.
  • Entertainment outlets report the notion remains an early, informal idea with no attachments, production plans, or timeline.
  • The original Robert Zemeckis film starred Meryl Streep, Goldie Hawn, Bruce Willis, and Isabella Rossellini, won an Oscar for visual effects, and later inspired a Broadway adaptation.
  • Barrymore has not had a major acting role since 2019 and has said Sandler could lure her back, and the three discussed teaming up during a 2023 appearance on her show.
