What did we do to deserve the gift of a theatrical re-release ofUncut Gems? The A24 flick is coming back to theaters the weekend of February 7 and features a very special bit of bonus content you can only see in theaters: A quirky Q&A featuring directorsJoshandBenny Safdieand the movie’s star,Adam Sandler.
A24 released a trailer heralding the return ofUncut Gemsto theaters on Saturday, February 8, and Sunday, February 9. The trailer is not the originalUncut Gemstrailer but is, instead, a quick preview of the Safdies Brothers setting up how their Q&A with Sandler will work. Josh does most of the narration while Benny sits next to him. Josh explains they will be doing aCandid Camera-ish kind of Q&A where Sandler believes he’s just sitting down with the director bros for some diner coffee but will, in fact, be asked questions about the movie. We even get a look at how that will happen as a waitress asks the Safdies about the titular gems andJason Batemancomes over to their table to have a chat. It’s unclear whether there will be any other celeb cameos during the unconventional Q&A (fingers crossed we get aKevin Garnettappearance, though), so I guess you’ll just have to hustle on over to a theater this weekend to watch it in full after you watch the Sandman try to beat the buzzer before all those bad bets go bust.
