Drew Barrymore recently revealed that Adam Sandler is in the process of writing a sequel to the beloved comedy film, Happy Gilmore. The news comes after comments made by Christopher McDonald, who played Shooter McGavin in the original movie, earlier this year. Barrymore shared that she reached out to Sandler directly to confirm the rumors about Happy Gilmore 2. In a preview of her show, she disclosed details of their conversation, sparking excitement among fans.
Barrymore expressed her enthusiasm for the potential sequel, mentioning that she had watched another Sandler classic, Billy Madison, with her daughter the night before. She shared that she sent Sandler a video of their movie-watching session, prompting him to respond with a video of his own. Following a commercial break, Sandler confirmed to Barrymore that the sequel is indeed 'in process.'
McDonald had previously hinted at the sequel during an appearance on a podcast, where he mentioned that Sandler had shown him a first draft of Happy Gilmore 2. Despite initial silence from Netflix and Sandler's representatives on the matter, Sandler later acknowledged that McDonald had shared the information prematurely.
While details about the sequel remain scarce, the news has reignited hope among fans for Sandler to reprise his iconic role. In a past interview, the director of Happy Gilmore had expressed skepticism about the possibility of a sequel, but the recent developments suggest otherwise.
As the buzz around Happy Gilmore 2 continues to grow, fans eagerly await further updates on the project. With Sandler reportedly working on the script, the prospect of revisiting the world of Happy Gilmore has fans excited for what's to come.
