Adam Sandler's HAPPY GILMORE 2 Confirmed by Netflix
A sequel to Adam Sandler’s classic 1996 comedy Happy Gilmore has been teased over the past few months as Sandler has revealed he’s been working on developing it for Netflix.
The whole thing was sparked by Christopher McDonald, who played Shooter McGavin in the original movie. He revealed in a past interview that a script for the film had been written.
Well, Netflix has confirmed that Happy Gilmore 2 is actually happening during its recent upfront presentation.
There’s no information on what the sequel will entail, but this is movie that we will be watching at some point in the future. It’ll be fun to see what Happy has been up to after all these years!
Sandler previously discussed where they are with the project, saying: "Me and Tim Herlihy are diligently trying to make a good reason for everyone to come and watch and have a good time. Netflix is excited about it. So, we're working on it. We've got some good ideas.”
He added: "Well, I'm shooting this movie that I'm in now, and when I get home, in a little while I call up Herlihy and we get in the room and jam and jam and jam. Now, we've been jamming, we have a million ideas already. We just gotta make it a movie. And, make sure we're excited about people enjoying it.
“It's important, we love Happy Gilmore, we don't want to let anybody down. People have talked about this for many years. In fact, I walked down the streets of London, they say 'When is 'Appy coming?' We're going to work hard and make sure it's good."
