James Caan circling role in I HATE YOU DAD starring Andy Samberg and Adam Sandler

 

James Caan is considering joining the cast of I Hate You Dad, a comedy also starring Andy Samberg and Adam Sandler for Columbia Pictures. The movie is about "a disagreeable father, played by Sandler, who moves in with his son and the young man's fiancee just before the son is to get married."

The film is being directed by Sean Anders and John Morris (Mr. Pooper's Penguins, Hot Tub Time Machine). David Caspe wrote the original script and the "State" team of David Wain and Ken Marino (Wanderlust) rewrote. Jack Giarraputo, Heather Parry and Adam Sandler are producing through their Happy Gilmore Productions.

Caan was nominated for an Academy Award for his portrayal of Santino "Sonny" Corleone in 1972's The Godfather. From 2003 to 2007, he starred as Ed Deline on NBC's Las Vegas.

The film is slated for release on June 22, 2012.
