ADAM SANDLER AND LEBRON JAMES TEAM UP FOR A NETFLIX BASKETBALL MOVIE

THE BASKETBALL HYPE ON NETFLIX CONTINUES

After The Last Dance, Adam Sandler has signed on to topline the upcoming Netflix picture ‘Hustle’, which is being directed by Jeremiah Zagar, the ‘We the Animals’ director.

 

Will Fetters and Taylor Materne co-wrote the script. The story of ‘Hustle’ is about an American basketball scout, played by Adam Sandler, who is unjustly fired after discovering a once-in-a-lifetime basketball player abroad. The scout decides to bring him to the US to prove that they both have what it takes to make it in the NBA.

 

Happy Madison of Adam Sandler is producing ‘Hustle’ alongside SpringHill Entertainment label of LeBron James and Roth/Kirschenbaum Films.

The news of Adam Sandler’s project comes a few months after the streaming giant announced it’s extending the deal with the actor and his Happy Madison Productions to make four more movie projects.
