Could we lastly see a sequel to Adam Sandler’s Happy Gilmore? The man who stole our hearts consuming s— for breakfast says sure.

In an interview with The Ken Carman Show, actor Christopher McDonald — greatest identified all through the world as Happy Gilmore’s nemesis Shooter McGavin — revealed that Adam Sandler just lately informed him there was a “first draft” of a script for Happy Gilmore 2. In truth, McDonald says, he really confirmed the script to him.

I noticed Adam [Sandler] about two weeks in the past, and he says to me, ‘McDonald, you’re gonna love this … I mentioned, ‘What?’ He says, ‘How about that?’ and he exhibits me the first draft of ‘Happy Gilmore 2.’ Maybe it is best to minimize that out [of this audio] as a result of I don’t wanna be a liar, however he did present me that, and I believed, ‘Well, that would be awesome.’ So, it’s in the works.

The authentic Happy Gilmore was launched in 1996 and made about $40 million towards a $12 million price range. It grew to become a fair greater hit on house video and cable, and helped launch Sandler’s movie profession. (The Wedding Singer got here out two years later and cemented Sandler’s movie-star standing.) Sandler performed a middling hockey participant who discovers he has a preternatural reward for golf. A one-armed former professional golfer named Chubbs (performed by the late nice Carl Weathers) helps him harness his expertise, and Happy units off to change into a {golfing} champion — with the evil Shooter McGavin standing in his means.

Sandler has made comparatively few live-action sequels over the course of his profession. He made a second Grown Ups after the first movie grew to become a giant hit in theaters, and he just lately launched a second Murder Mystery starring he and Jennifer Aniston to Netflix. That’s it! He’s by no means made a sequel to any of his hottest movies — and Happy Gilmore may be at the very high of that checklist.

I do not know how how you make a Happy Gilmore sequel 20 years later. Maybe he’s now the Chubbs to some younger hockey participant turned golfer? However you do it, I’m gonna guess Sandler followers would undoubtedly would end up to look at it.
