Adam Sandler to Play Both JACK AND JILL

Judd Apatow’s “Funny People” gave Adam Sandler an opportunity to lampoon the type of roles he usually plays.  The film featured fake trailers showing Sandler’s character as a series of gimmicky goofballs or an everyman thrown into supernatural or fantastical circumstances that mirrored the roles that have defined Sandler’s actual career, a la “Little Nicky”, “Bedtime Stories”, and “Click”.  For me, the acknowledgment of my own typecasting would be enough to steer me away from similar endeavors, but apparently that’s not how Hollywood works.  Sandler will indeed continue to play gimmick-defined characters, the next of which will be playing both Jack AND Jill in an upcoming romantic comedy, aptly titled “Jack and Jill”.  More after the jump.
