This Is How We Win: Adam Sandler, Josh Safdie Reunite for New Stand-Up Special

Adam Sandler is prepping his first new stand-up special since 2018, reuniting with 'Uncut Gems' co-director Josh Safdie.

Following the release and success of Uncut Gems, Sandler worked with Safdie and his brother, Benny, on a short film, Goldman v Silverman, about a turf war between two street performers. The Safdies were also set to direct Sandler in a new movie centered around the world of sports cards and memorabilia (also reportedly starring Megan Thee Stallion and Ben Affleck), but the current status of the project is unclear: Benny ultimately left, and while Josh was slated to take over as director, Benny told Variety last year that the movie is “on pause.” He’s been characteristically busy with a bunch of projects since then, starring in three movies alone last year, including Murder Mystery 2 with Jennifer Aniston, You Are So Not Invited to My Bat Mitzvah(which featured the entire Sandler family), and the animated film Leo.
