Gael García Bernal in Talks For Role in Safdie Brothers' Movie

March 15, 2023 Jordan Ruimy

Great news, the latest Safdies/Sandler project is slowly starting to come together.

Daniel Richtman is reporting that Gael García Bernal is in talks to star in the mysterious new film from the “Uncut Gems” filmmakers.

The folks at the usually reliable What’s On Netflix mentioned last week that Benicio Del Toro was being eyed for a role in the forthcoming movie. Curiously, Del Toro was also supposed to play Howard (Sandler’s role) in “Uncut Gems.”

The second thing to note is that the film takes place in the baseball card collecting world during the 1990s. We did not know about the decade it was set, so this will be what you might call a “period piece,” the first one for The Safdies.

The still-untitled film is set to be shot on April 3rd, with Netflix producing.

Back in October, I had some intel that the duo were shooting their next film with Adam Sandler this winter. Then, in an interview with Vanity Fair, Adam Sandler confirmed that this mysterious new Safdie film would be shooting in the “late winter.

Sandler mentioned to THR a few months back that the script, which seems to be evolving on a daily basis, is currently 340 pages.
