Adam Sandler is set to work overtime taking both roles in the high concept comedy “Jack & Jill.”
First announced last fall, the weird premise is a romantic comedy that focuses on the titular twins, who will both be played by Sandler. We’re guessing that the twins don’t fall in love with each other, but hey, the project is being penned by Robert Smigel (“Saturday Night Live”), Steve Koren (“Click,” “Bruce Almighty”) and Sander himself, so you never know.
Dennis Dugan has confirmed to Cinema Blend that he will be directing the film, continuing his longstanding relationship with Sandler, who he worked with previously on “Grown Ups,” “You Don’t Mess With The Zohan,” “I Now Pronounce You Chuck And Larry,” “Big Daddy” and “Happy Gilmore.” Filming will begin later this year with an eye to hit theaters in 2011.
