Will Adam Sandler be working in 10 years? Yes or No?

mikejet · 02-06-2009, 06:20 PM

Yes as a heavy drama actor.

Blu-ray Fanatic · 02-06-2009, 06:21 PM

Why do you ask? I hope he's still working in 10 years

Sushisake · 02-06-2009, 06:24 PM

It's a wonder he is even working now ---- his best work was on SNL

I miss Canteen Boy. The skit with Alec Baldwin was pure win.

Back when SNL was watchable.

I hope Adam Sandler is working in 10 years. His best years are behind him sure but his movies do still make me laugh (Bedtime Stories really surprised me, very good family movie) and I would like to see him keep trying his hand in dramatic roles because say what you will, if you have ever seen Reign Over Me or Punch Drunk Love, you know he can act.

He will always be a favourite of mine considering I worshiped Billy Madison and Happy Gimore when I was a kid and still today, love those two movies to death.

Long live The Sandman

What's with the Micky Rourke option?

True, SNL is nothing to me nowadays. I'm not really an Adam Sandler fan anyways, Happy Gilmore was funny though.

STARSCREAM · 02-07-2009, 08:34 PM

He played a serious role in reign over me and that movie I thought was really good.

He owns a production company.

The same one that made Paul Blart Mall Cop. Which has made a stupid amount of money over the last few weekends compared to what they spent on it.

He'll definately be working in 10 years.

Adam Sandler is going to win an Oscar before it's all over I kid you not. One of these days he's going to land a role that is going to allow him to play all his strenghts(however little they may be). He's already been close, (Punch Drunk Love, Reign Over Me) you wait and see. lol

Adam Sandler shouldn't be working now!

Tcan21 · 02-07-2009, 08:39 PM

He will definitely still be working, but he may fall down to that Jim Carrey level of not being able to carry a movie on his shoulders like he used to.

Jim L · 02-07-2009, 09:25 PM

I chose "bigger than ever".

If you saw him in Click, he was pretty big (as in fat). And not all of it was makeup.

Val Kilmer has gotten huge too.

It seems that lots of actors let themselves go and then their career goes downhill with it.

I'm sure it's a chicken or the egg situation. not everyone can get parts as an overweight character, especially with Philip Seymour Hoffman, Jack Black, and Paul Giamatti around.

Loved him in Zohan.

nick1091 · 02-08-2009, 01:31 PM

Sure he'll be working. Actors with careers that peaked 10-15 years ago are still making movies, so he'll definitely still be working.

If your question is will he be as big of a star in 10 years, then I would say no.

That's a whole other point.
