Adam Sandler to Play JACK AND JILL

Adam Sandler seems to be bouncing his career around three, different types of film.  He’s got the dramatic roles (REIGN OVER ME and FUNNY PEOPLE), he’s got the kiddie roles (BEDTIME STORIES), and he’s got the out-and-out comedy roles (YOU DON”T MESS WITH THE ZOHAN).  From the sound of it, his latest choice sounds like it could fall into that kiddie category, as Sandler has signed on to play both siblings in a romantic comedy titled JACK AND JILL.

Little is known about the project, other than Sandler will be playing a man and his twin sister, and, if the thought of seeing Sandler dressed up as a woman doesn’t get your laugh meter going, then you’re just not human.  Sandler’s Happy Madison will be producing, and Steve Koren, Robert Smigel, and Sandler worked on the screenplay.

Honestly, this sounds like one of those crappy, Hollywood movies George Simmons built his career out of in FUNNY PEOPLE.  Don’t be surprised to hear Sandler has signed on to star alongside Owen Wilson in MY BEST FRIEND IS A ROBOT.  But, hey, everybody’s gotta make their house payments, right?

Sony is looking for JACK AND JILL to release in early 2011.
