“Somebody’s closer!” “You eat pieces of sh*t for breakfast?” “Grizzly Adams have a beard.” is one of ‘s most quotable comedies, and also among his most popular. Will he be able to do the unthinkable — make golf interesting funny — again? It was confirmed earlier this year that Sandler is to for Netflix.
(Finally, and will share a home.) You would be a not to learn everything we know about , including plot details and the cast. Plot ends with Happy (Adam Sandler) winning the Tour Championship over Shooter McGavin (Christopher McDonald).
He not only gets a gold jacket and the girl (Julie Bowen), he also makes enough money to buy back his grandmother’s house, much to of Chubbs (Carl Weathers), Abraham Lincoln, and an alligator. Where will the sequel pick the story up? Sandler hasn’t said, but he’s confident in the idea that he and co-writer Tim Herlihy came up with. “The idea that me and my buddy Tim Herlihy had and the more we talked about it and scene to scene worked on it, it built and we feel very strong about the movie itself,” he told .
“We’re happy where it’s at and this is an exciting time for us. I don’t know how all of a sudden our brains said, ‘Let’s do that.’ It just kind of happened.
” In on , Sandler discussed the pressure that comes with making a sequel to a comedy classic. “We worked hard on the script. We didn’t want to let anybody down,” he said.
“People have been asking me for a long time, ‘Do .’ And I was always like ‘Nah, I’ll only let you down.’.
.. We’re really excited about it.
.. We wrote our asses off.
We’re continuing to try to make it a movie that I think you’ll like.” Cast So far, the only confirmed cast members are Adam Sandler, Nick Swardson (who will play ), co-writer and co-director , and . In May, the Kansas City Chiefs tight end and Taylor Swift’s boyfriend said he would do anything to appear in the sequel, because like millions of white guys in their 30s (guilty!), he watched the original a million times.
“Travis has...
he mentioned it, so we have a nice something for Travis,” Sandler on about Kelce’s appearance. “He’s gonna come by. He’s a very nice guy.
You guys would love him in real life. What a big, handsome guy. Funny and cool as hell.
He’s a stud and he’s so funny.” It’s unclear if Julie Bowen and Christopher McDonald will reprise their roles as Virginia and Shooter McGavin, respectively, although McDonald has with Sandler. Sadly, scene-stealers Carl Weathers, Bob Barker, and Joe Flaherty (“Jackass!”) have all passed away in the last year, but Sandler has an idea for how the sequel can pay tribute to the original cast.
“I would love [current host] Drew Carey to be in this movie out of respect to Bob,” earlier this year on . “When we were writing stuff, Bob was alive. When we were writing stuff, Carl Weathers was alive.
When we were writing stuff, Joe Flaherty was alive. It sucks, we love those guys. They were such a big part of the movie and just great people.
But we’re going to get them involved somehow. They’ll be involved.” Release Date starts filming in “a couple weeks,” so don’t expect it until 2025 or 2026.
Trailer There’s no trailer for yet, so it’s on me to pick a scene from the original film to put here instead. This is a high-pressure situation because it’s hard to pick just one. So, instead, I’ll punt and share the trailer for Sandler’s upcoming comedy special on Netflix instead.
(which is directed by Josh Safdie) comes to the streaming service on August 27..
