Henry Winkler to Play Adam Sandler’s Father

The film will be the third collaboration by Winkler and Sandler.  They also worked together in The Waterboy and Little Nicky.

Frank Coraci will direct the dramatic comedy about an architect who finds a universal remote that allows him to rewind and fast-forward through parts of his life.  Things become more complicated when the remote starts making its own choices.

Winkler will soon be starring in a television series for CBS.  The medical drama, which also stars Stockard Channing, premiers this fall.
