Aniston and Sandler reunite in ‘Murder Mystery’
JENNIFER ANISTON AND ADAM SANDLER are teaming up again in “Murder Mystery” for Netflix, having previously led 2011 romcom “Just Go with It.”
The pair have been named to the cast of “Murder Mystery,” a new comedy film from Kyle Newacheck of “Workaholics.”
“Murder Mystery” follows a New York Police Department officer, played by Sandler, who goes vacationing with his wife (Aniston) in Europe.
While there they become the prime suspects in a case concerning the death of a billionaire.
James Vanderbilt, of “Independence Day: Resurgence” and the first two “Amazing Spider-Man” films, wrote the script for “Murder Mystery”.
Newacheck, previously co- starred in, wrote for, directed and created episodic comedy series “Workaholics”, and then “Game Over, Man” (again, Netflix) which reunited the three “Workaholics” leads in different circumstances.
Anne Fletcher of “Hot Pursuit” and “27 Dresses” had previously been associated with the director’s role; she helms upcoming Jennifer Aniston and Danielle Macdonald beauty queen comedy “Dumplin’.”
For Sandler, “Murder Mystery” marks his sixth on-camera collaboration with Netflix, starting with “The Ridiculous Six” and continuing with “The Do-Over,” “Sandy Wexler,” “The Meyerowitz Stories (New and Selected),” and April 2018’s “The Week Of.”
He returns to the “Hotel Transylvania” franchise this July as leading character Count Dracula.
Aniston played Rachel Green over ten seasons of TV sitcom “Friends,” receiving a Golden Globe, Primetime Emmy, and a Screen Actors Guild award for the show. — Relaxnews As if. I’m Audi. Buggin’ Whatever A full-on Monet I totally paused. The list could go on and on, but these are some of the standouts that Alicia Silverstone’s Cher had on rotation. Writer-director Amy Heckerling has said she created a dictionary for the movie, drawing inspiration from the gay community, Yiddish and swing-era slang, among other places. - “Jerry Maguire” (1996) Show me the money. You complete me. You had me at hello. In the late 1990s, there was no escaping the phrase “Show me the money,” which was amusing — at first. The actor who said it, Cuba Gooding Jr., won an Oscar for his role, but writer-director Cameron Crowe deserves some demerits for unleashing that scourge on everyday life. - “Swingers” (1996) You’re so money, and you don’t even know it. Vegas, baby. Vegas. Vince Vaughn’s breakout role was the first time we saw him play his go-to persona: the fast talker unleashing a bottomless pit of one-liners. If he were a less charismatic actor, straightforward lines such as “Vegas, baby. Vegas” probably wouldn’t have caught on like they did.
- “Austin Powers: International Man of Mystery” (1997) Yeah, baby, yeah. Shh! Oh, behave. One. Million. Dollars. Mike Myers was back at it five years after “Wayne’s World,” giving movie fans a whole new set of conversational flourishes. Playing both the title character and his nemesis, Dr. Evil, he also provided a couple of new accents worth impersonating - retro British and what can only be described as constipated. - “Rush Hour” (1998) Do you understand the words that are coming out of my mouth!?
The genesis of Chris Tucker’s line wasn’t entirely PC: After meeting his new partner, played by Jackie Chan, he was trying to discern whether the man spoke English. But the quote turned out to be highly adaptable, usable on any clueless dimwit who just doesn’t seem to get it. - “The Big Lebowski” (1998) The dude abides. Yeah, well, you know, that’s just, like, your opinion, man.
Nearly a decade after “Bill & Ted,” the Coen brothers dreamed up a different, chiller kind of dude. Jeff Bridges played El Duderino himself, whose vow “The dude abides” was the kind of catchphrase destined to end up on T-shirts and bumper stickers. - “Office Space” (1999) I wouldn’t say I’ve been missing
