Exclusive: Netflix’s 🉐Spaceman director Johan Renck says he wanted to create a role for Adam Sandler t༒hat had no aspect of Sandler at all

Adam Sandler is well known for his comedy chops, as well as his impressive dramatic performances in films like 澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:Uncut Gems. However, his latest project Spaceman looks se🌊t to be his ꦡmost unique yet.
Speaking to , which features澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询: Dune 2 on the cover and is out this Thursday, director Johan Renck🥀 tells us about his decision to un-Sandler Adam Sandler🐓 in his upcoming sci-fi.
"I love him as an actor, and I’ve grown to have a very deep, profound love for him as a human being," says the 澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:Chernobyl director. But🌠 despite his admiration, his ultimate goal was to "make a character that is zero Adam Sandler. Even in Punch-Drunk Love or Uncut Gems, there’s always an aspect of Adam, which is great, but I really wanted to diminish that. I told Adam, 'I want to turn you into me.'"
In the upcoming Netflix space drama, Sandler plays Czech astronaut Jakub Procházka who is on a solitary research mission to the edge of the solar system. The official Netflix synopsis reads: "Jakub realizes that the marriage he left behind might not be waiting for him when he returns to Earth. Despe🐻rate to fix things with his wife, Lenka, he is helped by a mysterious creature from the beginning of time he finds hiding in the bowels of his ship. Hanuš works with Jakub to make sense of what went wrong before it is too late."
