Adam Sandler is set to star in his first Walt Disney Pictures film, the family comedy "Bedtime Stories," being directed by Adam Shankman. Sandler also will produce with his Happy Madison partner Jack Giarraputo along with Andrew Gunn and his Gunn Films banner.
"Bedtime" features Sandler as a harried real estate developer whose life is turned upside down when the lavish bedtime stories he tells his niece and nephew begin to come true. Matt Lopez wrote the script.
Shankman said one reason Sandler signed on was "the fact that he is a new father, and the idea of making a beautful Dinsey brand fantasy is soemthing that is in his heart right now.
"And he gets to play dual roles. He gets to play a regular guy and a knight in shining armor in the fantasy world. The comedic possiblities are limitless. And there is nothing better than Adam and kids. It's going to be really fun."
Production will begin this year for a holiday 2008 release.
