You can’t keep a good golfer down, just ask, umm, I don’t know any golfers. We can ask Happy Gilmore though, as he’s back in a sequel to the original movie, that came out 29 years ago.
I’m going to say it, but Adam Sandler is finally looking old. This teaser trailer for Happy Gilmore 2 isn’t giving much away, apart from lots of ‘memberberries. A lot of the original cast are returning.
Starring in the sequel is Sandler, Margaret Qualley, Ben Stiller, Julie Bowen, Ethan Cutkosky, Benny Safdie, Dennis Dugan, Nick Swardson and Christopher McDonald as Shooter McGavin.
Tim Herlihy and Sandler are writing, both have worked on a lot of Sandler movies together. Kyle Newacheck is directing.
Interesting to see Qualley in the cast, I’ll put good money on her playing Happy’s daughter. They don’t get on at the beginning but then form a bond over the game of golf. She’ll be the better golfer because it’s Hollywood and that’s how things work now; lovable white male character, replaced with a female.
There are no details about the plot to Happy Gilmore 2. At the moment, the only news on the story is:
Happy Gilmore returns!
From where, the supermarket? Outer space? The beyond? Sandler seems to be hit or miss, with the original movie still holding up as a hit. Sandler has commented on the pressure to get the sequel right:
“We’ve got a lot of good stuff, and we just want to make sure that it all comes together and keeps it going from start to finish, and that’s the goal. We’ll see. We’re definitely nervous, but we feel some sort of confidence.“
Happy Gilmore 2 will be streaming on Netflix on the 25th of July.
