Adam Sandler needs no introduction. The actor has carved his own niche in Hollywood by starring in some of the finest comedy films that have the perfect blend of humor and emotions. Whether it’s portraying a carefree singer in ‘The Wedding Singer,’ or a doting father in the recent Netflix hit ‘You Are So Not Invited to My Bat Mitzvah,’ the actor always leaves an indelible mark on the audience. But Sandler’s talents are not limited to just comedy.
From showcasing his goofy charm in his early breakout films like ‘Billy Madison’ and ‘Happy Gilmore,’ to giving nuanced performances in ‘Punch-Drunk Love,’ and ‘Hustle,’ the actor has time and again proven his versatility. With such an incredible filmography, Sandler’s new projects are always anticipated highly by the audience. If you, too, are curious to know about the actor’s upcoming films and TV shows, we have got you covered!
1. Untitled Film with Safdie Brothers (TBA)
Sandler is also going to be seen in a yet-untitled movie written and produced by Joshua and Benjamin Safdie. The film is set against the backdrop of high-end sports card collections in the 1990s and follows a retired Baseball pitcher who tries to make a comeback. Meanwhile, a sports memorabilia agent tries to capitalize on his success.
Sandler stars as the sports memorabilia agent, along with Megan Thee Stallion who is rumored to be in the film. The rest of the cast remains unconfirmed as of now. The project marks the second feature-film collaboration of the actor with the Safdie Brothers after the 2019 crime thriller ‘Uncut Gems.’ In January 2023, Sandler revealed that the Safdie Brothers were still working on the script. “They’ve been writing this movie we’re supposed to do together for a couple years,” the actor said in an interview with The Hollywood Reporter.
“They just write hundreds and hundreds of pages. I’ll read them and I’ll say, ‘I like the part when this…’ And they’ll be like, ‘Oh, that’s not in it anymore. We did a whole other thing. We’re going to send you a new draft.’ They just don’t stop writing and thinking and coming at every angle they can, and this movie we’re going to do is pretty amazing,” Sandler added. The film is currently in the post-production phase, and the release date has not been announced yet.
2. Untitled Netflix/Noah Baumbach Project
Netflix is bringing together two of the most prolific Hollywood actors for the first time ever in a coming-of-age comedy about adults, Sandler and George Clooney. Along with them, we also have Riley Keough, Greta Gerwig, Patrick Wilson, Laura Dern, Emily Mortimer, and Isla Fisher. While the plot is under wraps, this Noah Baumbach directorial is in its filming stage and is being bankrolled by Netflix. Baumbach (‘Marriage Story,’ ‘The Meyerowitz Stories,’ ‘White Noise’) has co-written the screenplay with Emily Mortimer. More details about the yet-untitled promising project are awaited.
