Adam Sandler IS Jack...and Jill

Indeed, this is life imitating art.

If you watched Funny People this past summer, you noticed fake clips from “the films within a film” of its lead George Simmons (played by Adam Sandler). Chief among them were Re-Do (body swap comedy where a man de-ages into an infant with his adult head and personality intact) and Mer-Man (essentially gender-reversal version of Splash). In addition, there were authentic looking one-sheets hanging all over Simmons’ mansion throughout the film. I was particularly fond of the Owen Wilson co-starring My Best Friend Is a Robot.

But now that People tanked at the box-office Sandler is headed back to the well, Variety reports. The actor/comedian will headline Jack and Jill for Sony. Just as you probably guessed, he’ll play both roles. Oh sweet irony! How you have such a wrathful sting sometimes!

The film is scheduled for release in early 2011. Most likely, this is to avoid the full-on battle royale that will be the summer film slate. Now comes the question you’re all pondering, “What stereotype role will Rob Schneider play?”
