Happy Gilmore 2 sequel confirmed: Drew Barrymore reveals Adam Sandler has written new screenplay 27 years after original release


Discussing the subject in a preview clip her talk show, Drew, 49, explained how she had texted her Fifty First Dates co-star Adam Sandler , 57, to find out if it he'd written a new screenplay

The child actress-turned talk show host, 49, was thrilled when Christopher McDonald - who portrayed Shooter McGavin in the original film - recently hinted that the sequel was happening. When he learns he has the surprising and unexpected talent to drive a golf ball over 400 feet, he wins a local tournament and joins the PGA, where he tangles with McGavin, who thinks he's bad for the game. The film also stars Julie Bowen as PGA tour publicist Virginia Venit, Carl Weathers as Chubbs, the golf pro who teaches him the finer points of the game, along with a memorable cameo from The Price Is Right host Bob Barker.
