Netflix is teaming up with Happy Madison (Adam Sandler’s production company) for another comedy move. The streamer is producing The Out-Laws, an action-comedy in the spirit of Meet the Parents starring Adam DeVine and former Agent 007 Pierce Brosnan. The movie follows a bank manager who is about to meet his future parents-in-law, but in a surprising turn of events, his bank is held hostage by the same people.
Netflix’s The Out-Laws will be directed by Tyler Spindel, who has previously worked on such projects as Father of the Year, Deported, The Wrong Missy, and more. The script for the movie was primarily written by Evan Turner and Ben Zazove (Sherlock Gnomes, Tooth Fairy 2). We’re told Jen D’Angelo was also on the writing team.
The Out-Laws has been developing the feature since 2019 when it was first reported as an upcoming Netflix project with lead star Adam DeVine already attached. We’re also hearing this won’t be the last Spindel project at Netflix, but we can’t reveal any more at the present time.
