"They're working hard on it," Sandler told EW of the filmmakers. "Their work ethic is bananas. They're always working, always writing, always thinking. I don't know what I can tell you, but it's gonna be very exciting. It's different. But I don't want them to ever say, 'What the hell did you tell him that for?' So I'll just let them talk [about it]."

Uncut Gems is a fast-paced, anxiety-fueled tale of a jeweler and gambler whose life quickly falls apart as he places all he has left on the sale of a rare gem. Sandler starred alongside Julia Fox in the film, which earned him the best male lead 2020 Independent Spirit Award.
