Say what you like about Adam Sandler, but the man’s clearly not lacking in self-esteem. Over his last few movies alone, the superstar comedian has counted the likes of Jessica Biel, Kate Beckinsale, Keri Russell and Emmanuelle Chriqui as his on-screen love interests.
And now he’s added another ultra-hottie to the list of uber-ultra-hotties, after Salma Hayek signed on to star as his wife in the as-yet untitled comedy that will see Happy Madison heavy-hitters Sandler, Kevin James, Chris Rock, David Spade and Rob Schneider team up FOR THE FIRST TIME EVER IN THE HISTORY OF MOVIES.
Rock also saw his screen wife board the project today in the shape of former SNL star Maya Rudolph. Colin Quinn, another SNL alum, also joined the Dennis Dugan-directed movie, which will see the Happy Madison Five play childhood friends reuniting on a July 4th weekend. Needless to say, hilarity ensues.
Sandler wrote the screenplay with his old mucker, Fred Wolf. Let's hope they remembered to give Rudolph and Hayek something to do. Filming starts in the summer on the Columbia Pictures movie.
