Murder Mystery 2 Director Jeremy Garelick on Adam Sandler & Jennifer Aniston's Chemistry
11Adam Sandler and Jennifer Aniston reunite at long last for Murder Mystery 2, which sees the Spitzes jetting off to a private island. This time, the mystery-comedy is being helmed by writer, producer, and director Jeremy Garelick (The Wedding Ringer) who spoke with Collider’s Steve Weintraub about taking the reins on Netflix’s unexpected sequel, which he tells us he’s down to film 10 more of! Sandler and Aniston in a Murder Mystery franchise? Count us in.
Four years since their European debacle, Nick (Sandler) and Audrey (Aniston) Spitz are struggling to get their own private eye agency recognized. Having solved their first mystery, how hard could it be? When the couple is invited to a luxurious wedding by none other than The Maharajah (Adeel Akhtar), that very question is put to the test. The Spitzes set off to a private island, where a new crop of suspects – er, guests – are ready to party. Soon, however, The Maharajah is taken hostage, and it’s up to Nick and Audrey to sort through the clues and the mayhem. Murder Mystery 2 also features Mark Strong, Mélanie Laurent, John Kani, Jodie Turner-Smith, Jillian Bell, and more.
During their 1-on-1, which you can watch in the player above or read below, Garelick discusses how Sandler and Aniston are “great playing off of each other,” in what ways the script was designed for the two of them, and shares inspiration for the opening recap and the reason behind that cliffhanger ending. He teases the sequel’s huge dance number, talks about working on set with second unit directors J.J. Perry and Spiro Razatos on the action-packed sequences, and tells us a little bit about the abandoned high school he purchased for his production company, American High.
