After Adam Sandler received overwhelming praise for his incredible work in Uncut Gems, Sandler’s next project remains in the sports world. His upcoming Netflix project Hustle, has the star teaming with another NBA star as the film will be produced by LeBron James and SpringHill Entertainment as well as Sandler’s Happy Madison,
The story follows an American basketball scout (Sandler) who is unjustly fired after discovering a once-in-a-lifetime player abroad. The scout decides to bring the player to America to prove that they both have what it takes to make it in the NBA.
Over the past few years, Sandler has seen a career renaissance with his Netflix standup special as well as his critically acclaimed performance in Uncut Gems opposite another NBA legend, Kevin Garnett.
No word on when production on Hustle will begin, however, Sandler’s involvement is quite exciting after last year’s performance.
