Drew Barrymore has revealed that she and her former co-star Adam Sandler are ‘actively’ in talks to do another film together.
The pair have starred in multiple romantic comedies since the nineties, with audiences not being able to get enough of their on-screen chemistry.
Having not appeared alongside each in almost a decade, a new film could be in the works after Barrymore made the admission about Sandler on her talk show, The Drew Barrymore Show.
It came after the show’s panel were talking about Tom Hanks and Robin Wright’s on-screen reunion, when her co-host Ross Matthews asked the actor about working with Sandler.

“I love when people we love in movies, like, reteam for a movie. So, I'm gonna ask you on behalf of everyone: you and Adam Sandler, are we doing another one?” teased the Drag Race host.
Fans of the Charlie’s Angels actor cheered in the background as she confirmed that they were ‘seeking’ a project together.
“We are definitely talking about it. Oh, yeah. For sure,” Barrymore said, adding that: “There's conversations to find the [right movie]. We're actively seeking to find the thing.”
However, she remained tight-lipped other whether this would be another rom com and instead told viewers: “We're always — you know, I think it's very script/story specific.”
