Barrymore has some ideas when it comes to the movie she wants to make with Sandler and Aniston, and she has a couple of remakes in mind.

"You know, when you wish for something so much you don't even care if saying it out loud will jinx it? You're like, 'I don't even care. I'm just gonna say it. It's too fun to dream about,' " she went on.
"We're all producers, so we all have companies. We can make this happen. I think it's a matter of timing."

"It's like creating a tapestry that is so distinct unto themselves. And I was so there for what Adam Sandler was putting out into the wild that I just wanted to be next to it," Barrymore added.
