Adam Sandler to Star in Supernatural Comedy HELLO GHOST
Adam Sandler is going to be working with Harry Potter director Chris Columbus in developing a supernatural comedy called Hello Ghost, which - surprise, surprise - is a remake of a Korean film.
Sandler will produce and star in the film, while Columbus is set to direct it. The story centers on a man who, "after attempting to kill himself, is plagued by the arrival of four ghosts. They won't leave him in peace until he helps them amend their past by granting them one wish."
I've never seen the original film, but the Korean media company behind it are involved with it and will co-produce. Karen Croner (Admission) wrote the script for the remake. I hope it turns out to be a good film, it sounds like it could be fun. We'll see though, Sandler hasn't made a good movie in a long time.
Columbus is also looking to direct a feature film adaptation of the short film Pixels, which should make for a great film. Sandler is currently working on the romantic comedy Blended with Drew Barrymore, and will next be seen in Grown Ups 2.
Do you think there's still hope for Sandler to start making good films again?
