New Line Cinema has an untitled comedy project in the works by screenwriter Paul Thomas Anderson, who has written and directed such greats as Magnolia and Boogie Nights.  So it doesn't surprise me to see Philip Seymour Hoffman and Mary Lynn in the lineup.  However, Adam Sandler was not what I expected to see in association with PTA.  Will we see a profound dramatic side to Adam?  Hard to tell at this point, but as news comes down the pipe in should be interesting.    

  The script was originally titled "Knuckle Sandwich", but the script and the title has changed considerably sense it's inception.  There's a script review at Ain't It Cool News. (2/3/01) The production title for this film is The X-4 Project.  

  Not much is known yet about this except that it's a romantic comedy between Sandler and Watson's characters.  It was to have been about a thief in love in 1967 Los Angeles, but that has since been scrapped.  It's unclear as to the type of character Mary Lynn will play, or the scope of involvement she will have in the project.  But we will keep you updated as soon as news becomes available.  

Running Time: 105 minutes 

Distributor: Columbia Pictures (Sony) 

Production Company: Revolution Studios (with financing from New Line Cinema)

Filming: Production started on this movie on February 1st, 2001 in Los Angeles. Sandler will then move on to Deeds. (3/2/01) Some filming (ten days) might be going on in Waikiki currently, but that hasn't been confirmed yet. (3/7/01) And so it has.
