Adam Sandler Circling Miguel Arteta’s FAT MAN
Adam Sandler may be set to star in a project titled Fat Man for director Miguel Arteta (director of Cedar Rapids) that centers on an 800lbs. fat man who has a love affair with his nurse.
“I’d love to do a movie with Adam Sandler that… someone said he was flirting with? It’s called Fat Man. I don’t know if you’ve heard about this? One of the main writers of The Simpsons wrote the script and it’s amazing. He would play an 800lbs. guy who has a love affair between him and his nurse. And he’s naked for the first half of the film… and it’s very touching… and it’s very funny.
So, I hope he gets the gumption to do it, and maybe I get a crack at that, that would be amazing. Certainly, it would be not a movie you would forget anytime soon… and [it’s]beautifully written. I don’t know if that’s meant to get out on the internet…”
