Adam Sandler and Christina Ricci Do Porn
Filed under: Comedy, Casting, Deals, Scripts
Adam Sandler has broken out of his Happy Madison bubble and written something for a ... wait for it ... "porn title-friendly entity." But don't worry, it's not a skin flick, and it probably won't have him Jason Segeling. The Hollywood Reporter posts that Sandler as co-written a script with Jack Giarraputo called Born to Be a Star; Tom Brady (The Hot Chick) is directing, and Christina Ricci is the first to sign on.This news would suggest that Ricci is going to spend some time as a petite porn star, but that's not the way this is playing out. The "porn-tinged" comedy focuses on a small-town nerdy guy in Iowa who discovers that his humble parents used to be famous porn stars in the '70s. The discovery doesn't make him cower in fear and trauma, however, as most kids would. Instead, he heads for Hollywood hoping to be just like them and become the biggest porn star in the world. Ricci will play his innocent girlfriend.
Production will kick into gear later this month, so we should hear more soon. Why does this nerdy dude head to Hollywood for porn rather than the internet? Will Rob Schneider get this gig too? He is one of Sandler's right hand men and was in Brady's first feature. Stay tuned!

For some reason, they didn't reveal that the lead guy is Nick Swardson (he said so on his myspace page), and that Sandler co-wrote it with Swardson and Allen Covert, not Jack Giarraputo. Stephen Dorff is also in it.
