Dustin Hoffman Reunites With Adam Sandler in Netflix’s Dark Drama ‘Time Out’
A Hollywood legend is stepping back into the spotlight and this time he’s teaming up with one of Netflix’s biggest stars for a story that cuts deep into the pressures of modern life.
Two-time Academy Award winner Dustin Hoffman has officially joined the cast of Netflix’s upcoming film Time Out, starring opposite Adam Sandler. The project is a remake of the acclaimed 2001 French film about a man who loses his job and hides the truth from his family, choosing instead to construct an elaborate lie that slowly spirals out of control.
Sandler will play Vincent, a man who appears to live a busy, successful professional life. He tells his wife and children he’s traveling for meetings and building new opportunities. But in reality, he has been laid off. Instead of confronting the shame and fear that come with unemployment, he invents a new career and begins fabricating business deals to keep the illusion alive. As the pressure mounts, his web of deception grows darker and more dangerous.

Hoffman is set to play Vincent’s father, adding emotional weight to a story already layered with tension. The dynamic between father and son could become one of the film’s most powerful elements, especially considering Hoffman’s legacy of portraying complex, morally conflicted characters.
The film is being written and directed by Scott Cooper, known for his intense character-driven storytelling. Production is scheduled to begin in Vancouver this spring, signaling that Netflix is moving quickly on a project that blends psychological drama with social commentary.
This reunion is especially notable because Hoffman and Sandler last shared the screen in The Meyerowitz Stories. That collaboration proved Sandler could move seamlessly between comedy and serious drama. And after major Netflix successes like Happy Gilmore 2, Sandler continues to demonstrate his global pull.
Why does this matter? Because Time Out is not just another streaming release. It tackles something universal, the fear of failure and the pressure to define ourselves by our careers. In a world where identity is often tied to professional success, this story feels timely and deeply human.
With Hoffman’s gravitas and Sandler’s evolving dramatic range, expectations are high. If executed well, this could be one of Netflix’s most talked-about dramas of the year.
