Actor, director and comedian Adam Sandler teased a possible release date and celebrity appearances for the upcoming Netflix sequel to his 1996 golf comedy “Happy Gilmore” during a recent appearance on the “Dan Patrick Show.”
“I don’t know 100%, but I think around July,” Sandler, 58, said on Dec. 6, according to The Hollywood Reporter. “Not July 4, but we’re trying to get it done in time for July. You never know what’s going to happen. We’re just finishing today.”
Sandler also revealed appearances by rapper Eminem and retired golfer Jack Nicklaus in the sequel.
He added that Eminem “said a million things we can use and a million things that we’re glad we have him on tape.”
“I know Eminem for a long time, and he’s a great guy,” he said to the Reporter. “He came in and was funny as hell. I think we just hung out a day with Eminem, and he just shot and shot, and it was insane.”
Original film cast members Julie Bowen, Christopher McDonald and Ben Stiller are also expected to return.
“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,” Sandler said. “We’re definitely nervous, but we feel some sort of confidence.”
