If Adam Sandler and Jennifer Aniston have their way, they may soon star in a film alongside Drew Barrymore. Aniston and Barrymore have appeared in three films each with Sandler as his romantic partners. Barrymore's on-screen relationship with Sandler dates back to 1998, when the two starred in The Wedding Singer. Barrymore and Sandler reunited for 2004's 50 First Dates and in 2014, for Blended. Aniston has worked with Sandler on Just Go with It, Murder Mystery and its upcoming sequel, Murder Mystery 2.
While promoting their upcoming Netflix film Murder Mystery 2 on Good Morning America, Aniston and Sandler expressed their desire to collaborate with Barrymore on-screen. Earlier this week, Aniston and Barrymore joined forces to honor Sandler as he received the Mark Twain Prize for American Humor. The two actresses took the stage with a skit where they jokingly discussed playing Sandler's love interests in multiple films. Regarding the skit, Aniston told Good Morning America: "We thought we'd be funny because there was a Twitter thing a couple years ago, and they're always sort of comparing us, who's the better movie wife or movie love, so we just thought we'd do a little bit on that... and we just played around."
During the interview, Aniston and Sandler stated that they had pitched a film that would include Barrymore, with Sandler insisting that Aniston would write it. While Aniston joked that the film would "put an end to this competition," Sandler rebutted: "There's no competition. Just two great ladies. That would be amazing, doing a movie all together. Absolutely."
Drew Barrymore Wants to Find the Right Project
During the Mark Twain Honors, Barrymore said that she and Sandler were looking for a "meaningful" project to collaborate on and insisted the two would know when the right project presented itself:
"I will say this: Adam and I seem to really know it when we know it. And we're like, 'This is it.'" She later added: "We work really hard in the writing to balance it out for the male-female perspective. We always try to infuse something that we really think is meaningful, as far as storylines, or what we relate to or what we want to see in a story, 'cause we need that. We make it personal, even though it's not us up there."
Could that meaningful project be a collaboration between Aniston, Barrymore, and Sandler? We'll just have to wait and see.
Up next, Sandler and Aniston will appear on Murder Mystery 2 as Nick and Audrey Spitz, a married couple with a knack for solving crimes. The film premieres Mar. 31 on Netflix.
