According to Variety, the trio are in talks to star in the movie along with Rob Schneider and David Spade. The story centres on five high school friends who reunite 30 years after graduation for an Independence Day weekend.
Sandler worked on the screenplay with Fred Wolf, the writer behind Spade's Dickie Roberts: Former Child Star. Dennis Dugan, who helmed Sandler's You Don't Mess With The Zohan, is attached to direct.
The five actors have all crossed paths over their careers, but this will be the first time they have all featured in the same film. Sandler's recent hairdresser comedy Zohan included appearances from Schneider, James and Rock.
