Our most-anticipated Netflix Original from Sandler to date is Spaceman, and while we were initially supposed to see the movie in the Fall of 2023, it was pushed out of the year in favor of this new March 1st release date.
Directed by Johan Renck, the movie will follow the humble beginnings of a young orphan who eventually grows up in a remote part of the Czech Republic to become an astronaut.
It’s an adaptation of a well-known book called Spaceman of Bohemia. The movie was shot between April and July 2021 with a budget of somewhere between $ 30 M and $50M.

Following the success of Uncut Gems, the Safdie Brothers and Sandler will be teaming up for a new project that’s believed to be about baseball cards in NYC in the 90s.
The movie was due to begin filming in the summer of 2023, but it was pushed back due to the Hollywood strikes. It’s unclear when it’ll get underway again.
Among the cast reportedly involved or rumored to be tied with the project includes Megan Thee Stallion, Gael García Bernal, Ben Affleck, Benicio del Toro, and Steve Harvey.
