Aniston, Sandler Reunite for Netflix’s “Murder Mystery”

It has taken eight long years, but the world is finally right again as Adam Sandler and Jennifer Aniston are sharing the screen together, this time in Netflix’s comedy Murder Mystery.

The streaming service has just put out a trailer for the highly anticipated film, showing what appears to be a slightly altered version of fan-favorite thrillers Murder on the Orient Express, and dare I say, Clue?

Sandler plays an NYC cop who, along with his wife (Aniston), is traveling to Europe to rekindle the romance in their now stale fifteen-year marriage.  But a chance encounter slightly alters their plans, placing them in the middle of an intimate family gathering on the Super Yacht of elderly billionaire Malcolm Quince.  When Quince is murdered, the American couple becomes the prime suspects and find themselves on the run for their lives.

Luke Evans and Gemma Arterton also co-star while Dany Boom plays Inspector Laurent Delacroix, a character one degree removed from Agatha Christie’s Hercule Poirot. 

Murder Mystery will be available on the streaming service beginning June 14.

About Stephen Davis

Stephen Davis
I owe this hobby/career to the one and only Stephanie Peterman who, while interning at Fox, told me that I had too many opinions and irrelevant information to keep it all bottled up inside. I survived my first rated R film, Alive, at the ripe age of 8, it took me months to grasp the fact that Julia Roberts actually died at the end of Steel Magnolias, and I might be the only person alive who actually enjoyed Sorority Row…for its comedic value of course. While my friends can drink you under the table, I can outwatch you when it comes iconic, yet horrid 80s films like Adventures in Babysitting and Troop Beverly Hills. I have no shame when it comes to what I like, and if you have a problem with that, then we’ll settle it on the racquetball court. I see too many movies to actually win any film trivia contest, so don’t waste your first pick on me. My friends rent movies from my bookcase shelves, and one day I do plan to start charging. I long to live in LA, where my movie obsession will actually help me fit in, but for now I am content with my home in Austin. I prefer indies to blockbusters, Longhorns to Sooners and Halloween to Friday the 13th. I miss the classics, as well as John Ritter, and I hope to one day sit down and interview the amazing Kate Winslet.
