Adam Sandler movies generally have big casts, but he's throwing caution to the wind on his latest project. Not only will it feature all the Happy Madison regulars (David Spade, Rob Schneider, Kevin James, and Chris Rock) together in one film for the first time, but he's snagged Salma Hayek, Maya Rudolph, and Colin Quinn just to keep things classy and sexy.
According to Variety, the untitled comedy centers on five best friends from high school who reunite after 30 years for a Fourth of July party. With these five guys, I think you can expect someone to be seriously injured by fireworks, and at least one of men to get naked (our money is on Schneider). Hayek and Rudolph will play the spouses of Sandler and Rock, respectively, while Quinn's role is unspecified. Read more...
Unless you've been living under a rock, you've heard of a little movie called "Paul Blart: Mall Cop" that made a decent chunk of change at the box office. I'm sure you thought "I bet we're going to be due for a lot more Kevin James movies." And you would be right! According to Variety, Kevin James is getting his second title role -- this time in "The Zookeeper" for MGM and Happy Madison.
Directed by Frank Coraci (who has directed several of Adam Sandler's films, including "The Wedding Singer"), the story centers around a lonely zookeeper, who leaves his job caring for wild and woolly animals because he can't meet a girl. (Don't girls visit zoos?) Read more...
Given the amount of jokes hurled towards security guards, it's strange there haven't been more movies dedicated to the "rent-a-cops" of America. But all that's about to change, as two different "shopping mall security guard" movies hurl themselves into theaters in 2009. Seth Rogen's "Observe and Report" drops in April, but first we'll have Kevin James' crime caper "Paul Blart: Mall Cop."
The film follows the adventures of Blart, a bumbling, Segway-driving guard who inadvertently stumbles onto a gang of criminals who are taking over the mall. Naturally it's up to him to save the day, but first there's the obligatory chase scene, which you can see below in our exclusive clip. "Paul Blart: Mall Cop" will hit your local multiplex on January 16.
