We wouldn't have believed this one if we didn't see it ourselves -- it's definitely the oddest pairing since Michael Jackson married Lisa Marie Presley. The one and only Jack Nicholson is set to star with funnyman Adam Sandler in a film titled Anger Management.

The comedy (thank God it's not a drama) is about a sheepish man (Sandler) who is arrested and sentenced to attend an anger management course. The program is taught by the only person (Nicholson) capable of making the mild-mannered Sandler angry. The story is written by David Dorfman.

The film is backed by Revolution Studios and will start production this Spring.
