Netflix allegedly tried to intimidate Adam Sandler while dropping bumbling hints about his potential next project.

During a recent appearance on The Dan Patrick Show, the Hollywood heavyweight was grilled about his upcoming work following the debut of Happy Gilmore 2, the sequel to Adam’s beloved 1996 comedy, which landed on Netflix on Friday, July 25.

This prompted the Big Daddy star to cryptically disclose that he’d recently faced off with Netflix executives, though Adam said he remained defiant when they attempted to “stare” him down.

Adam said, “Past, I wish I knew right now. I didn’t let it happen because I was just with Netflix’s management. They were trying to intimidate and stare me down.

He continued, “I said, Wait for this,” Soon enough, Sandman will let you know what’s going on. Who is Sandman, and why? ‘I said, ‘ Me, me. C’mon, cut this s***”.

Dan then made it known that Adam, the Little Nicky actor, “let it slip” about his upcoming movie and that he “must write these damn things” at a dinner in New York.

He further resisted questioning by turning people’s attention to his most recent release. When asked, Adam replied, “Don’t,” claiming that it was “Happy Gilmore 2 time.”

In the original ’90s fan-favourite comedy, the Hollywood funnyman portrayed Happy, a hockey player who discovers he possesses a natural gift for golf and subsequently enters the PGA Tour in a bid to raise the funds needed to save his grandmother’s house.

The follow-up would prove to be brilliant news for fans. Indeed, one Reddit user posted on the site asking for Adam Sandler film recommendations ahead of its release.

Please let me know which of your favorite Adam Sandler movies I should watch tonight. I adored the song “Billy Madison and Happy Gilmore” from last night.

Any suggestions, even if I’ve seen them, please, please. Please let me know your favorites so I can put them on my list so I can add them if I don’t want to list them too long here.

As the recommendations poured in, one particular film stood out among the fan favourites: the 2006 comedy fantasy picture, Click, tells the story of workaholic Michael Newman, portrayed by Adam.

He receives a universal remote control from Christopher Walken’s character, Morty. However, this remote proves to be extraordinary, enabling him to pause, rewind, and fast-forward moments of his existence.

One Reddit user called the movie “underrated,” while another called it “fun and enjoyable movie” that “leaves you sobbing,” despite the negative reviews that critics received.
