A Script For a HAPPY GILMORE Sequel Has Been Written
It looks like we might actually be getting a sequel to Adam Sandler’s classic 1996 golf comedy Happy Gilmore! Christopher McDonald, who played Shooter McGavin in the original movie, recently offered an update confirming that a script has been written.
McDonald was a guest on Cleveland's 92.3 The Fan radio show and that’s where he revealed: "I saw Adam about two weeks ago, and he says to me, 'McDonald, you're gonna love this.' I said, 'What?' He says, 'How 'bout that,' [and] he shows me the first draft of Happy Gilmore 2.'"
McDonald continued: "Maybe you should cut that out (of this audio) because I don't wanna be a liar, but he did show me that, and I thought, 'Well, that would be awesome.' So, it's in the works. Fans demand it, dammit."
That’s pretty exciting to hear! Back in 2021 Sandler and McDonald had did an interview with the Golf Channel and when asked about a sequel, Sander said he would be into the idea saying: "It has not been discussed. But it certainly has been discussed on the Internet, and believe me, that Senior Tour idea… it would be so amazing."
The host then asked Sandler and McDonald if they're both in and if he could announce that the project had been greenlit. McDonald gave a thumbs up Sandler replied: "Yes, yes you can greenlight this. Yes, I am in. I would love to do it. Everyone's been screaming for it like Adam said on the Internet and, you know, I just gotta say it would be a complete blast, the Senior Tour with us two, oh my god."
The film does not have an official greenlight yet, but with a script written, the project is one step closer to getting made. A Happy Gilmore sequel could be a lot of fun! It’d be fun to catch up with these characters and see what they’re up to!
