Adam Sandler and Dustin Hoffman are teaming up once again for a remake of the acclaimed French drama, “Time Out,” originally released in 2001. Reports confirm that Hoffman has joined the cast alongside Sandler, who is set to take on the lead role in this poignant narrative.
The film, directed by Scott Cooper, revolves around a man who, after losing his job, pretends to go to work each day to shield his family from the painful reality of his unemployment. Sandler’s character will navigate the complexities of this deception, with Hoffman portraying his father in a role that promises to showcase the duo’s chemistry once more.
This marks another significant project in Sandler’s career, following his starring roles in two notable films in 2025, one of which is a sequel to his iconic “Happy Gilmore” for Netflix. Additionally, he earned a Golden Globe nomination for his performance in “Jey Kelly,” a comedy-drama where he starred alongside George Clooney.
Dustin Hoffman, a two-time Academy Award winner, continues to impress with his recent performances, including his role in the 2025 film “Tuner.” The partnership between these two veteran actors has previously yielded success, as seen in the critically acclaimed 2017 film “The Meyerowitz Stories,” directed by Noah Baumbach.
The reunion of Sandler and Hoffman reflects a hopeful endeavor for audiences, as their collaborative efforts promise to bring depth and humor to the story of “Time Out.”
