Jennifer Aniston and Adam Sandler Would Like to Collaborate on a Drama for Their Next Project
Actors Jennifer Aniston and Adam Sandler are enjoying the premiere week of their most recent film, Murder Mystery 2, which has just dropped on Netflix. The pair co-starred in the first Murder Mystery film in 2019, as well as the rom-com Just Go With It in 2011, and they are already looking forward to a future collaboration.
Aniston told The Hollywood Reporter at the Murder Mystery 2 premiere in Los Angeles on Tuesday:
“We were saying we would love to be able to do something serious together — not that this isn’t serious, but more in the dramatic side. I just think he’s so exquisite as a dramatic actor as well and it’s not easy to swing back and forth.”
Sandler, who in recent years has received acclaim for his heavier roles in Uncut Gems and Hustle, confirmed he’s also in, saying of a dramatic project for the duo:
“That would be great. She’s amazing, she’s a deep young lady, I would love to do something different with her.”
In the pair’s current adventure Murder Mystery 2, their married couple characters have now launched a private detective agency and find themselves at the center of an international investigation when a friend is kidnapped. Both Aniston and Sandler did a number of their own stunts, as Sandler joked the most challenging stunt was just “getting up after them.”
“After I was done with the movie I got a hip surgery, so I was in agony every stunt. I wouldn’t tell anybody but I was in pain every move and I kept it to myself and by the end I was like, ‘I’ve got to get that stupid operation, man, I’m in trouble.'”
He went on to tease:
“By the way, Jennifer kicked me in the ribs one scene and that wasn’t in the script. Enough said.”
They are a fun pair, and I look forward to watching whatever they make in the future!
