I need it.
And I stayed up last night with my daughter watching ‘Billy Madison,'” Barrymore said in a clip released by the show. “I sent sent [Adam] Sandler a video of that, and then he sent me another video back, and I’m waiting to see if he’s confirming about the ‘Happy Gilmore 2’script because actor Christopher McDonald, who was Shooter McGavin … he was in the original 1996 film, but he claims that Adam recently showed him a copy of the first draft of the sequel to ‘Happy Gilmore.'”Later in the show, Barrymore looked at her phone.
“This just in, I have breaking news,” she said. “I’ll just say this, from my source, that [the movie script] is in process.“There is a process, and that process is in process.”Barrymore and Sandler are good friends and have starred in three movies together: “The Wedding Singer” (1998), “50 First Dates” (2004) and “Blended” (2014).In regard to McDonald, Barrymore was referencing a radio interview that McDonald did with “The Ken Carman Show” in Cleveland when he first broke the news about the “Happy Gilmore 2” script.
“I saw Adam about two weeks ago, and he says to me, ‘McDonald, you’re gonna love this,’” he told Carman. “I said, ‘What?’ He says, ‘How about that?’ and he shows me the first draft of ‘Happy Gilmore 2.’“Maybe you should cut that because I don’t wanna be a liar,” McDonald told Carman, “but he did show me that and I thought, ‘Well, that would be awesome.“So it’s in the works.
