Pictures of Adam Sandler practicing his golf swing in the sand with a scenic view of the water have gone viral as filming begins for the sequel to “Happy Gilmore.” The set, located in the Highlands, marks the start of production for “Happy Gilmore 2” in New Jersey.

Last month, thousands of aspiring actors flocked to the Hyatt Regency in Morristown for an open casting call for the Netflix movie. Videos posted on social media showed long lines wrapping around blocks and stretching through town, leading to massive traffic backups as attendees waited for a chance to be part of the film.

The casting call, organized by GWCI, was first announced via Instagram in August.

Where is ‘Happy Gilmore 2’ being filmed?

The company revealed that scenes would be shot in Morris, Bergen, Essex, Somerset, and Monmouth counties from September through November.

Among the local businesses selected for filming is Steve’s Burgers, a popular Route 46 eatery. The restaurant’s owner shared the news in an Instagram post, confirming its participation in the much-anticipated sequel.

“Honored, Privileged, and Excited to announce that Steve’s Burgers on Route 46 has been chosen by @adamsandler and @netflix to shoot a scene for the new and heavily anticipated Happy Gilmore 2 movie coming soon to Netflix!” Burgers wrote. “We will keep you all posted on shooting dates so you can possibly meet the man myth and legend himself!

Travis Kelce to cameo in ‘Happy Gilmore 2’

Adam Sandler announced the Kansas City Chiefs tight end Travis Kelce would join the cast of his upcoming movie sequel in a cameo role during an appearance on “The Tonight Show with Jimmy Fallon,” telling the late-night host “Travis mentioned it, so we have a nice something for Travis.”

“He’s gonna come by. He’s a very nice guy. You guys would love him in real life,” he told his fellow “SNL” alum. “What a big, handsome guy. Funny and cool as hell. He’s a stud, and he’s so funny.”

Tarleton State iced a kicker with a Happy Gilmore scene to win its first DI football game

What a way to win a football game!

Tarleton State football earned its first victory in DI competition on Saturday with the help of a beloved 1990s sports comedy.

As the team stood firm against a 19-point comeback against McNeese State, veteran sports journalist Rodger Sherman (former of The Ringer) shared a delightful screenshot of the Cowboys’ field goal attempt to tie up the game with six seconds left.

To help out Tarleton State, an absolute genius put up a shot from the film Happy Gilmore of Chubbs Peterson, Abraham Lincoln and the alligator that bit off Chubbs’ hand in Heaven on a big screen behind the uprights where McNeese State’s kicker was going for the field goal.

You can see the actual attempt below.

 

Genuinely, you cannot script this. We’re sure Chubbs, Honest Abe and that gator are actually looking down from Heaven, very proud that Tarleton State’s video team tagged them in to help get the historic win.

Travis Kelce to appear in ‘Happy Gilmore 2’

According to a recent report, #Chiefs TE Travis Kelce is set to appear in ‘Happy Gilmore 2’

Kansas City Chiefs tight end Travis Kelce has booked yet another acting gig, his fourth over the last month.

After it was announced earlier this month that the Chiefs’ legend was going to star in two upcoming TV shows, Are You Smarter than a Celebrity? and Grotesquerie, as well as play a lead role in the new Lionsgate movie Loose Cannons, the All-Pro tight end is expected to make another appearance on the big screen.

On “The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon,” Adam Sandler said Kelce will appear in Happy Gilmore 2. Sandler is reprising his role as the title character in the sequel to the 1996 comedy.

Though it is unclear what Kelce’s role in the movie will be, fans can expect an all-time performance from the All-Pro tight end.

Kelce’s run of booking movie and TV gigs is one rarely seen by a pro athlete, especially one whose career is still active. With four acting jobs already announced, it is only a matter of time before he lands more.

Travis Kelce successfully begged his way into a role in ‘Happy Gilmore 2’

Travis Kelce keeps shooting his shot and it keeps working

When news broke the a long-awaited sequel to the 1996 Adam Sandler golf comedy Happy Gilmore was officially a go at Netflix, arguably no one was happier than Kansas City Chiefs tight end Travis Kelce.

First and foremost, because he’s a huge fan of the original film. But second — and probably not by much — because Kelce is trying to launch his own acting career and this seemed like a dream project for him.

“I’ll do anything in the movie,” Kelce said on his New Heights podcast in May. “I’ll be a part of it any way I possibly can.”

Well, the plea worked!

On Tuesday night’s episode of The Tonight Show, Sandler confirmed they are getting ready to start filming in New Jersey and among the various cameos planned in he script is one for Kelce.

“Travis mentioned it,” Sandler said. “So we have a nice something for Travis.”

The film is still looking to cast extras, so you don’t even need your own podcast show to get involved in the project if you want to try joining Sandler and Kelce on set.

Happy Gilmore sequel with Adam Sandler, new Will Ferrell golf series in works at Netflix

Golf will be one of the stars as streaming giant turns to something new and something old.

Netflix is doubling down on golf comedy with a sequel to the 1990s classic Happy Gilmore and a new television show starring Will Ferrell.

On Wednesday, the streamer confirmed that Adam Sandler will return as the raucous professional golfer Happy Gilmore in a new movie. The golf comedy cemented Sandler as a bankable movie star with its 1996 debut.

While no talent and director are attached as of yet, actor Christopher McDonald, who played the conniving golfer Shooter McGavin in the original film, talked about the potential sequel earlier this year, hinting at his involvement.

Meanwhile, Ferrell will star in a new Netflix comedy series titled GOLF, where he will play a legendary fictional golfer. Ramy Youssef (Poor Things) will co-star on the series and is credited as a co-creator with Ferrell and Josh Rabinowitz.

While no release date is planned for either project, it’s possible both projects will go into production this year and will hit the green sometime in 2025.

‘Happy Gilmore 2’ is in the works, says Shooter McGavin actor, because ‘fans demand it’

It has to be better than that “other” golf movie sequel, right?

It has to be better than that “other” golf movie sequel, right?

The most iconic golf movie ever, “Caddyshack,” was followed up by the horrific “Caddyshack II,” so here’s hoping “Happy Gilmore 2” does right by the original.

Christopher McDonald, the actor who portrayed Happy’s nemesis Shooter McGavin in the 1996 release Happy Gilmore, spilled the beans about the follow-up when he joined Ken Carman on 92.3 The Fan in Cleveland.

“Here’s a quick intel,” McDonald said. “I saw Adam [Sandler] about two weeks ago and he says to me ‘McDonald. You’re going to love this.’ I said ‘What?’ And he says ‘How about that?’ and he shows me a first draft of Happy Gilmore 2.”

He then joked that maybe the radio producers should cut that out of the interview because “I don’t want to be a liar,” he said, but added that Sandler “did show me that and I said that would be awesome. It’s in the works. Fans demand it.”

McDonald is active in pro-am and charity tournaments and said his handicap is “probably 12 or 13 but I used to be about a 7.”

Where does he rank the Shooter McGavin role?

“I’ve had some favorite roles. I gotta say it’s top 3.”

“You’re a beloved character,” said Carman.

“People loved to hate the Shooter. I love that.,” McDonald said.

McDonald was in Cleveland for a meet-and-greet at the minor league hockey Cleveland Monsters, where the fan giveaway is a Shooter McGavin bobblehead.

Deadline reported that the movie will be made for Netflix, but added that niether the streaming service nor Adam Sandler were available for comment.

There is no announced release date for “Happy Gilmore 2.”
