Adam Sandler to make four new movies for Netflix

(Reuters) - Actor and comedian Adam Sandler has reached a deal with Netflix Inc <NFLX.O> to make four new movies for the global streaming service, the company said on Friday.

 

Sandler, a former "Saturday Night Live" cast member who built a career on movies such as "Grownups" and "The Water Boy," has become one of the biggest draws on Netflix, according to the company.

 

Sandler's "Murder Mystery," co-starring Jennifer Aniston, was ranked the streaming service's most popular title in the United States in 2019. It is one of six movies and a comedy special he has made for Netflix with his company, Happy Madison Productions, since 2015.

 

His upcoming projects for Netflix include "Hubie Halloween" co-starring Kevin James and Julie Bowen and an animated feature film that Sandler will write and star in as a voice actor.

 

Netflix is counting on original movies such as Sandler's to help it compete with new rivals, particularly Walt Disney Co <DIS.N>, which has been removing its films from Netflix and taking them to its own Disney+ streaming service.

[unamazedloso]

Sandlers alright. Atleast hes entertaining, acting in Uncut gens wasnt bad actually but bring on 4 stupid funny movies i say!! I will probably be locked in a house for a while because of pollution and corona so the more movies the better..

[canuckamuck]

Sandler is great, but he has a weird sense of humor,  he should be kept from the writing or have an editor with authority.

I thought it was rubbish too, and I do not watch Marvel.

[SteveK]

It certainly was different, but definitely not rubbish. Adam Sandler's performance was great. I would give it 7/10.

Sanders forte is zany comedy....he was good in Dont Mess with the Zohan.

I just dont see him as a serious character actor.

I have....didnt really impress.

I was looking forward to the movie.....but the loud music over the opening credits making it difficult to hear the dialogue wasn’t good. Then Sandler’s character.....I found his character annoying. I lasted twenty minutes and bye bye.

"YOU AIN’T COOL UNLESS YOU PEE YOUR PANTS”

Yes, one of the biggest examples of over acting I have ever seen.

 

Sandler should stick to being an idiot more entertaining.

I watched it at the recommendation of a good friend but got bored with it about 1 hour in.

I tend to agree with those who think AS is better at zany comedy but as my friend said "each to their own"

Choice is a wonderful thing ????
