Following news that the couple has “split up,” a new report appears from world of role indicates that production on the Safdie Brothers’ new collaboration with Adam Sandler has been postponed.
According to the latest report, production on the film was originally scheduled to begin in late winter last year. Then it was moved to April, then June, then July. Now, World of Reel says production on the film is set to begin in August.
No reason was given for the delay. Additionally, a report earlier this week revealed that Benny Safdie will no longer be directing the upcoming film, with his brother Josh Safdie taking full responsibility instead. The breakup is said to be “temporary,” so it’s unclear if that played any part in the delay at all.
What will the next Safide Brothers movie be about?
The Safdie Brothers’ next project is set in the world of sports memorabilia, which they will write and produce. The film will be released on Netflix.
Sandler is set to star in the untitled film. Sandler previously worked with the Safdie Brothers on the critically acclaimed film Uncut Gems, with the acting and directing duo winning Independent Spirit Awards for their work on the film. Ben Affleck is in talks to star alongside Megan Thee Stallion, Steve Harvey and Gael Garcia Bernal.
“In the world of high-profile sports card collecting in the 1990s, a retired baseball pitcher (Affleck) attempts a comeback while a sports memorabilia agent (Sandler) seeks to capitalize on his success,” reads the plot details . “Megan Thee Stallion is set to play Affleck’s girlfriend.”
