Adam Sandler is set to write, act and produce an untitled animated feature for STX Entertainment. After his long standing performance in the Hotel Transylvania franchise where he voiced the lead character Count Dracula, animation has been a key field of interest for the actor.
Sandler also helmed Hotel Transylvania 2 along with Rober Smigel in writing the screenplay. And, as per what the movie panned out both in terms of story and box office collection, the story has been written effectively.
Sandler’s Happy Maddison Productions, founded in 1999, will now work on this animated feature project for STX Entertainment. Happy Maddison Productions has released several films produced by others like You Don’t Mess with the Zohan, Grown Ups, Grown Ups 2, Anger Management, 50 First Dates and The Shortcut. Sandler has a past relation with STX Entertainment, CEO, Robert Simonds as both of them have worked on films like The Wedding Singer, The Waterboy, Bulletproof, Happy Gilmore, Big Daddy, Billy Maddison and Little Nicky.
STX Entertainment, motion picture group chairman, Adam Fogelson said, “As we continue to grow our company, the family arena is of critical importance to STX Entertainment and we are tremendously excited to have Adam Sandler and Happy Madison developing projects with us for the global animation market.”
Plot details have not yet been revealed but it is speculated that this feature is mainly directed towards the kids and family entertainment arena. Considering Adam Sandler’s performance in the movie business, we can probably expect a new breakthrough of entertaining content from this upcoming feature too.
