Adam Sandler and Chris Rock Join Untitled Comedy

Kevin James, Chris Rock, Adam Sandler, Rob Schneider and David Spade are in talks to star in an untitled comedy for Columbia Pictures, according to Variety.

Frequent Sandler collaborator Dennis Dugan (You Don't Mess with the Zohan) will direct.

Sandler's Sony-based Happy Madison shingle, which recently teamed with James and the studio on the box office hit Paul Blart: Mall Cop, is producing.

Sandler penned the screenplay with Dickie Roberts: Former Child Star scribe Fred Wolf. The high-concept story is a comedy about five best friends from high school who reunite 30 years later on a Fourth of July weekend.

The five actors have worked together on a number of comedies, though never all on the same project. Sandler and James most recently starred as the title characters in I Now Pronounce You Chuck and Larry. Schneider co-starred in "Zohan," while Rock and James made cameo appearances in the film.

The studio is gearing up for a summer start date.

    ha, probably.
    but you know if rock is in there then they should get louis ck on the lineup. theyre always working together anyway, why not get him in front of the camera once in a while.

  13. T.Clark

    That's a good lineup...I'm guessing Rock will play the black stereotype seeing as how he's the only black guy ha
