Kevin James, Chris Rock, Adam Sandler, Rob Schneider and David Spade are in negotiations to star in an untitled comedy for Columbia Pictures, reports Variety.

Frequent Sandler collaborator Dennis Dugan (You Don't Mess With the Zohan) will direct, with the studio gearing up for a summer start date. Sandler's Sony-based Happy Madison is producing.

Sandler wrote the screenplay with Dickie Roberts: Former Child Star screenwriter Fred Wolf. The high-concept story is a comedy about five best friends from high school who reunite 30 years later on a Fourth of July weekend.

The five actors have worked together on a number of comedies, though never all on the same project.

If Chris Farley were alive, I'm sure he would be in this flick instead of Kevin James. Farley, Sandler, Rock, Spade and Schneider were the bad boys(and close friends) of SNL back in the late 80s early 90s!

I'm half on Schneider. Sometimes he's okay and sometimes he's awful.

David Spade is meh to meh.

But I like James, Rock and Sandler.

Looking forward to this.

This would have been a great cast for the new Ghostbuster Movie.

What is the reason to hate on a cast of very funny people in a movie? There is maybe one movie that I've seen that i didn't like from Adam Sandler and if you put a cast like that around him then your gonna have a very funny movie!
