When the name of Adam Sandler is associated with a film project in the industry, the first thing that comes to the audiences’ mind is the genre of it being another comedy from the star, and rightfully so. For almost two decades, the star has constantly provided Hollywood with some of the most hilarious and comical films in history,
But unfortunately, the star has also given the world some of the most throwaway pieces of cinema in the process.

A lot of A-listers try to refrain from giving interviews to journalists or media outlets as they feel like it is an absolute waste of time other than when they are trying to promote their work. Adam Sandler is allegedly also one of such celebrities but as the actor once revealed in an interview, his reason for staying away from media is a bit different than the others.

Adam Sandler’s movies have their fair share of lovers and haters. The Sandman’s films are popular among some sections of the audience. Despite making some subpar films, everyone seems to root for the actor. However, Sandler revealed that he was never approached by big studios like Marvel to play a role in their films. He also has no hope that the opportunity will ever come in his career.

Spaceman is now streaming on Netflix.
Johan Rench, perhaps best known for directing the groundbreaking HBO series Chernobyl, leaves behind the world of historical reality in exchange for one of futuristic endeavors. Spaceman, which stars Adam Sandler in a role unlike anything he’s attempted before, uses the science-fiction genre to explore the heart-wrenching affects of loss and regret in the realms of love. It’s reminiscent of Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind in that regard, as well as for casting a traditionally comedic actor in the lead. I had the opportunity to speak with Renck about his latest project, an experience that was as pleasant as it was insightful.

Spaceman is the latest Netflix sci-fi film fronted by Adam Sandler and it is not afraid to explore some weird and unexpected territory that leaves its meaning in question.
The film is based on Jaroslav Kalfař's novel Spaceman in Bohemia, which charts the story of fictional astronaut Jakub Procházka (Sandler) and his eight-month-long solo journey to investigate the mysterious Chopra space cloud above Earth.
Along the way, Jakub encounters the telepathic alien spider Hanuš (voiced by Paul Dano) who helps him to face his Earthly struggles. But not everything in Spaceman is straightforward and its ending is particularly ambiguous.

Adam Sandler’s multi-year deal with Netflix has resulted in movies reviled (The Ridiculous 6), revered (Uncut Gems), and — with the new film Spaceman — bewildering and deliberately open to interpretation. “It’s like reading a book, listening to a song, or reading a poem, whatever,” director Johan Renck told RadioTimes.com. “Your own experiences will guide how you take in the film, basically.” So, what’s up with Spaceman’s ending? And what does it all mean? Here’s what we’ve gleaned… In the film — written by Colby Day and based on the Jaroslav Kalfař novel Spaceman of Bohemia — Sandler plays Jakub Procházka, a Czech astronaut six months into a Euro Space Program mission to investigate the mysterious space dust of our solar system’s (fictitious) Chopra cloud. As the sole astronaut on the mission, Jakub has ample time to reflect on his life, including his failing relationship with...

Plot: An astronaut realizes that the marriage he left behind might not be waiting for him when he returns to Earth.
Desperate to fix things with his wife, he is helped by a mysterious ancient creature he finds hiding in the bowels of his ship.
Review: It should no longer be surprising when Adam Sandler stars in dramatic roles. When Paul Thomas Anderson’s Punch-Drunk Love was released in 2002, Sandler was best known for films like Big Daddy and Little Nicky. Even though Sandler still releases broad comedies like Hubie Halloween and Murder Mystery, the actor has proven his talents in movies like Uncut Gems and Hustle.

This Spaceman article contains spoilers.
Jakub Procházka (Adam Sandler) has lofty goals. The first astronaut in the Czech Space Program, Jakub is on a year-long solo mission to study a strange violet phenomenon in deep space, dubbed the Chopra Cloud. “As I enter the Chopra cloud,” he tells the public via video-link from his ship the Jan Hus-1 (named from the 14th century proto-Protestant theologian), “I might just unravel some secrets of the universe.”
Despite Jakub’s grand ambitions, Spaceman director Johan Renck and screenwriter Colby Day, adapting the novel Spaceman of Bohemia by Jaroslav Kalfar, intend instead to explore the mysteries of the human heart. Jakub spends more time thinking about the death of his informant father and his estrangement from his pregnant wife Lenka (Carey Mulligan). Of course a lot of that soul searching comes via Hanuš, a giant telepathic spider who arrives to help heal Jakub’s distress.

Leaping from the slightly longer February into March, Netflix is welcoming in the new month with big series premieres, special live events, comedy specials, and films to binge at any time!
Coming to the streamer this month, “Girls5eva” will also make its debut after being rescued by the streamer from Peacock cancelation.

Plus, wind down and whet your appetite with new seasons of the hit competition series “Blown Away” and “Is It Cake?,” premiering on March 8 and 29, respectively.
Maybe Netflix’s biggest premiere this month, though, is the highly anticipated limited series adaptation of Cixin Liu’s internationally celebrated “The Three-Body Problem” trilogy from David Benioff, D.B. Weiss, and Alexander Woo. Benedict Wong, Jess Hong, John Bradley, Sir Jonathan Pryce, Liam Cunningham, and more lead the cast of the sci-fi drama, which...

Space, in general, is not known for getting the best out of solo male astronauts, who with the cheerful exception of Matt Damon's resourceful Mark Watney in The Martian, have a tendency to cope badly with quite so much alone time.
Now Adam Sandler's Jakub Prochazka joins the likes of Solaris' Kris Kelvin and Moon's Sam Bell in orbit around his own feelings. He's a Czechoslovakian astronaut deep into a mission to capture particles from a sparkly clump of mystery space dust on the edge of the solar system known as the Chopra Cloud. Sandler has the fragile and haggard look of a man who hasn't slept for a week from the start, his isolation reinforced as he takes questions from schoolkids back home, who ask him if he is "the loneliest man alive".
He denies it, of course, but it's soon evident his marriage to pregnant wife Lenka (Carey Mulligan) -.

Drifting alone through space in a cramped craft, headed toward Jupiter and a strange anomaly known as the Chopra cloud, cosmonaut Jakub Prochazka (Adam Sandler) conducts a satellite interview with schoolchildren back on Earth. A little girl asks: "I read that you're the loneliest man in the world ... does it make you sad to be so far away?" Thus the mood is set for "Spaceman," Johan Renck's melancholy sci-fi story about loneliness, love, and a giant talking space spider. This is a strange film, and perhaps the strangest aspect of all is that it stars Adam Sandler.

Fans of the film industry are divided when it comes to Adam Sandler. You either really enjoy his movies or you simply don’t. There is no in-between.

We love Adam "The Sandman" Sandler, don't we, folks? Sandler has been a staple of the screen for decades now, and while he tends to gravitate towards comedy, every now and then he'll turn out a dramatic role to remind us that he's actually a pretty good actor. Sandler's latest serious part is in the upcoming Netflix film "Spaceman," where he plays a very sad astronaut going through a breakup with his pregnant wife, played by Carey Mulligan. What's a sad spaceman to do? Well, in "Spaceman," Sandler's sad-sack cosmonaut gets some help from — are you ready for this? — a giant talking spider, voiced by Paul Dano. The movies are back!

Adam Sandler has gone pseudo-serious before, from a mentally agitated toilet plunger salesman in Paul Thomas Anderson’s “Punch-Drunk Love” to a depressed comic in Judd Apatow’s “Funny People.” But he’s never been so dour as cosmonaut Jakub Prochazka in Johan Renck’s lonely island of a science-fiction drama, “Spaceman,” where he’s six months into a solitary research mission investigating spectral cloud activity around the planet Jupiter.

One of the strangest films paying at the 2024 Berlin Film Festival is a Netflix sci-fi offering from a Swedish filmmaker named Johan Renck. It's a strange pick not because the film is experimental or unconventional, it's strange because it doesn't make sense this film is playing at a festival. Spaceman will streaming be on Netflix in a few more weeks (starting March 1st). It's another mostly middle-of-the-road, easily-forgettable Netflix Original, and it doesn't really do anything crazy or exciting or clever that would make it worthy of a major festival premiere. It's also just a really strange film because it's about a giant, benevolent space spider (!!) that appears inside a spaceship that is traveling near Jupiter – astronaut Jakub is on a year-long solo mission to investigate a purple cloud of mysterious space dust that appeared near Jupiter a few years before. It's actually based on a true story, sort of,...

After xix months of solitude on a spaceship, floating alone with no one to talk to, Astronaut Jakub Prochazka (Adam Sandler) has a bizarre encounter with an extraterrestrial (voiced by Paul Dano) in the trailer for Netflix’s Spaceman. Or is the spider-like creature merely a figment of his imagination?
“I really wanted to have a performance from him that had nothing to do with the Adam Sandler we all know,” said director Johan Renck (Chernobyl) to Netflix’s Tudum. “I don’t think people understand how [although] he may come across as funny and sweet and all that, he’s very intelligent, really smart, profound.”
The cast of the sci-fi drama, based on Jaroslav Kalfař’s Spaceman of Bohemia, includes Carey Mulligan (Maestro), Kunal Nayyar (Suspicion), Lena Olin (Hunters), and Isabella Rossellini (Julia).

When Paul Thomas Anderson went against the industry grain and cast Adam Sandler as the lead in his fourth feature, "Punch Drunk Love," many people in Hollywood felt the brashly talented filmmaker's ego had inflated to Welles-ian proportions. After the dazzling excess of "Magnolia" (which was more divisive at the time than it is now), there was a sense that he was provoking for provocation's sake. Outside of Steven Seagal, it's possible there wasn't a more critically loathed star in America — and it wasn't just the movies they hated. They detested him. They considered him a charisma vacuum who needed someone as irresistibly lovable as Drew Barrymore to render his presence in a film tolerable.
Anderson shattered these misconceptions. Though Sandler didn't dive headlong into dramas after "Punch Drunk Love," he'd take on a non-comedic part every few years and remind us of his untapped potential — which he fully realized...

Get ready for a cosmic journey of heartbreak and hope as the first poster for Spaceman hurtles toward Earth, promising a sci-fi drama unlike any other. The film, directed by the acclaimed Johan Renck, boasts a stellar cast led by the chameleon-like Adam Sandler, the ever-radiant Carey Mulligan, and the enigmatic Paul Dano.
The poster itself is a captivating enigma. Against the backdrop of a swirling nebula, a lone figure, presumably Sandler’s astronaut Jakub Procházka, floats weightlessly in a worn spacesuit. His reflection in his helmet visor reveals a woman, presumed to be Mulligan’s Lenka, his wife back on Earth. The vast distance between them, emphasized by the swirling celestial void, speaks volumes about the emotional chasm Jakub faces on his solitary mission to the edge of the solar system.
But this isn’t just a story of isolation. Dano’s voice echoes in the poster’s tagline: “Lost in the cosmos,...

The ongoing partnership between Adam Sandler and Netflix has proven hugely beneficial to both parties, with the actor continuing to churn out the formulaic comedies that his entire brand and reputation were built on, while the streaming service reap the rewards as every single movie bearing the Happy Madison Productions logo seems to rocket straight towards the upper echelons of the Top 10 most-watched list.
Hubie Halloween was the latest Sandler vehicle to nab the #1 spot, and the 54 year-old is already hard at work on his next effort Ballers. Of course, a lot of people would like to see the Uncut Gems star tackle more dramatic fare on a regular basis given that he’s clearly a very good actor with the right material, and those same folks will be pleased to know that upcoming sci-fi drama The Spaceman of Bohemia will mark his first Netflix venture that isn’t a comedy.
