Sandler May Give 'Fifty First Kisses' To Barrymore
[Wednesday, October 30th, 2002]Adam Sandler ("Punch-Drunk Love") is attached to star in and produce "Fifty First Kisses," a romantic comedy that could reteam him with his "Wedding Singer" co-star Drew Barrymore, reports Variety.
The Columbia Pictures project revolves around a man who falls in love with a woman after a memorable encounter, only to find that she suffers from severe short-term memory loss and has no idea who he is. To win her, the man must get her to fall in love with him all over again every day.
It is based on a spec script by George Wing, and is being rewritten by Lowell Ganz and Babaloo Mandel. No director is attached. Jay Roach ("Austin Powers") was initially attached, but he has since turned his attentions elsewhere. No offer has been made to Barrymore yet.
