Roberts, Sandler Flirt With Sex Comedy

April 19 -- Julia Roberts, who struck box-office pay dirt and Oscar gold with a turn as a foul-mouthed, short-skirt-wearing single mom in Erin Brockovich, may be getting even raunchier by teaming up with Adam Sandler in a comedy about an aphrodisiac.

We'll pause right here while you assimilate "Julia Roberts," "Adam Sandler," and "aphrodisiac" in the same sentence.

The project that would bring about this unlikely pairing is based on the real-life success of Niagara, a new wonder drink that's being called the female version of Viagra and that's all the rage in Little Rock, Ark.

Sony-based Revolution Studios is negotiating to buy the rights to journalist Suzi Parker's story, which was detailed in the Nerve.com article "Genie in a Bottle: The Sex Drink That's Rocking Little Rock," Variety reports.

Parker writes of the herbal aphrodisiac, "It's a $4.50 drink that makes women feel relaxed and tingly in the right places." Well, some of us just hop in the shower with our mint body wash, but no one's going to make a movie about that. The drink, which comes in a big blue bottle, is also profiled in the current issue of US Weekly, where one female fan raves, "This stuff is expensive. But if it was $10 a bottle, we'd buy it."

There's no word on the script yet, but we'll be fortifying ourselves with a different sort of drink on the off chance that we have to see Roberts and Sandler in any kind of a romantic clinch.
