Actress Trio Joins Sandler's "Reign"
Actresses Liv Tyler, Saffron Burrows, and Jada Pinkett-Smith will be joining Adam Sandler and Don Cheadle in "Reign O'er Me," a post-9/11 drama from "Upside of Anger" director Mike Binder.
Says The Hollywood Reporter: "Saffron Burrows, Jada Pinkett Smith and Liv Tyler are in final negotiations to join the cast of the drama "Reign O'er Me" for Columbia Pictures. Adam Sandler and Don Cheadle are toplining. Helmed by Mike Binder, the film centers on a man (Sandler) who lost his family in the Sept. 11 attacks and has not recovered from his grief. He runs into his college roommate (Cheadle), who is now a psychiatrist and is determined to help him cope with the loss. Burrows would play Donna, a patient of Cheadle's character who has entanglements with both men. Smith is set to play Janeane, the wife of Cheadle's character, while Tyler would play Angela, a psychiatrist."

Mike Binder's other films include "Blankman," "Crossing the Bridge," and the well-admired (by those who've seen it) "Indian Summer."

on Feb 21 2006 08:03 AM [b]Could Sandler be Oscar Bound?[/b] This one along with Inglorious Bastards means that Sandler's career may have finally turned a positive corner. He was hypnotising in Punch Drunk Love, so if he keeps taking rolls like these, it'll be only a matter of time before he wins an Oscar. Think of it, Billy Madison and Happy Gilmore winning an Oscar! Wouldn't that shake things up in Hollywood! (Reply to this) |

on Feb 21 2006 11:43 AM Tyler especially and Smith are good additions. Which make this movie definitely sound more appealing. (Reply to this) |

on Feb 21 2006 09:24 PM Adam Sandler and Don Cheadle. Adam's starting to take his career a little more seriously now. He was great in 'Punch Drunk Love' and I want to see the man do more than stupid comedies (and lately they've been bad). (Reply to this) |
