Murder Mystery: New Details on Adam Sandler and Jennifer Aniston Netflix Movie

Adam Sandler, comedy’s former box office king, has spent the past few years making Netflix his exclusive feature film home, thanks to a lucrative deal, one that was even reupped last year for four more films. With Sandler’s Netflix sandbox having reunited him with various former SNL co-stars, notably with Chris Rock in the recent comedy, The Week Of, the upcoming movie, Murder Mystery, is facilitating a reunion with Jennifer Aniston, with whom he co-starred in 2011’s Just Go with It.

In the latest news, Netflix has revealed loads of new details for Murder Mystery, including an updated synopsis and full cast list.
