The project follows a period in which “Uncut Gems” star Sandler was in the business for a few months, producing and starring in the films “Murder Mystery 2” and “You Are So Not Invited To My Bat Mitzvah” for Netflix this year.

Most recently, he lent his voice to the animated film Leo, along with his daughters Sunny and Sadie Sandler, who also appeared in You Are So Not Invited To My Bat Mitzvah.

Clooney’s most recent work includes directing “The Boys in the Boat,” which tells the story of the University of Washington rowing team that competed in the 1936 Berlin Olympics. The film is scheduled for release on Christmas Day in the U.S. and January 12 in the U.K.

In the meantime, Baumbach most recently worked as a co-writer with his partner Greta Gerwig on “Barbie” – the highest-grossing film of 2023.

Despite the film’s immense success, Baumbach recently admitted that he originally thought the film was a “terrible” idea. He told Variety: “I thought it was a terrible idea, and Greta signed me to do it.”
