According to the Hollywood Reporter, Adam Sandler will join Jonah Hill in Uncut Gems, the next film from the Safdie brothers, produced by Martin Scorsese.

Plot details for Uncut Gems are being kept under wraps but the feature is set in New York's diamond district.

For the feature the Safdies are re-teaming with A24, which distributed their last film, the Robert Pattinson-starring Good Time.

Scott Rudin and Eli Bush are producing via Scott Rudin Productions with Elara Pictures' Sebastian Bear-McClard and Oscar Boyson. Martin Scorsese is exec producing the feature, along with Emma Tillinger Koskoff.

Adam Sandler needs no introduction. As a successful actor, writer, producer and musician, Sandler's films have grossed over $3 billion worldwide and include box office hits such as "Grown Ups," "Big Daddy," "The Longest Yard," and "The Waterboy." Sandler's last three films for Netflix, "The Ridiculous 6," "The Do-Over," and "Sandy Wexler," have been the most-watched films on Netflix to-date. His most recent film, directed by Noah Buambach "The Meyerowitz Stories," was loved by audiences and critics alike. This April, Sandler co-stars in the Netflix comedy, "The Week Of," reuniting him with friend and SNL alumni, Chris Rock." After a long absence from the comedy stage, Sandler has found time between films over the last couple of years to perform in front of live audiences in a sold-out tour in the U.S. and Canada.
