According to this report, Salma will be joining Antonio Banderas to voice a charactr in Puss In Boots (working title), based on the popular Shrek character of the same name, which will be released on March 30, 2012.

By the way, I haven’t had a chance to report on this but Salma was recently announced to star in Adam Sandler’s newest comedy Grown Ups coming to theaters on March 12, 2010.

She’ll be joining a cast that includes Kevin James, Chris Rock, Adam Sandler, Rob Schneider and David Spade. The Columbia Pictures release is about five best friends from high school who reunite 30 years later on a Fourth of July weekend.

Salma would star as Sandler’s wife in the film and mother to their daughters. They are also hearing that Sandler pals Norm McDonald and Steve Buscemi are joining the cast of the project in smaller roles.

Great news! According to several reliable sources, Salma Hayek will get to show off her comedy chops in the new Adam Sandler film that’s tentatively titled Lake House.

JoBlo.com reports that Salma will star along with Sandler, David Spade, Rob Schnieder, Chris Rock and Kevin James in the film, which revolves around a group of high school friends who reunited in their hometown. Hayek would play Sandler’s wife in the film and the site is also reporting that Norm MacDonald and Steve Buscemi have signed onto much smaller roles in the film. It was said the film would be similar to The Big Chill, but more comedic.

Sandler is co-writing the film with Fred Wolf and Dennis Dugan would direct. The site also reported the film would likely go into production this May in New England.

This sounds great! And I think it’s safe to say that I’m speaking for the entire Encantadora-team when I’m saying “I can’t wait”!
