20 Upcoming Netflix Originals You NEED To Know About
3. Spaceman
Adam Sandler will star in this adaptation of Jaroslav Kalfař's 2017 novel Spaceman of Bohemia, as directed by Chernobyl's Johan Renck and co-starring Carey Mulligan, Paul Dano, Kunal Nayyar, and Isabella Rossellini.
Sandler plays Jakub Procházka, the first independent Czech astronaut, who is sent on a mission to inspect a cloud of "intergalactic dust" near Venus.
It's certainly bewildering material, but the novel was widely praised for its subversive approach to the sci-fi genre, which will hopefully carry through to this adaptation.
Perhaps this'll even do well enough to put Sandler back in the awards conversation after he was so thoroughly snubbed by the Academy for Uncut Gems two years ago.
