• GROWN UPS 2

Sony Pictures has begun meeting with Adam Sandler's HappyMadison Productions about a potential sequel to his 2010 hit, Grown Ups.Variety has the news, reporting that the original film's writer, Fred Wolf, isin negotiations to write the script with Sandler potentially interested inreprising his role as one of five friends dealing with fatherhood.

A Grown Ups sequel would mark the first time that Sandlersequelized one of his own projects. If he does, indeed, decide to return, itwould quite likely be alongside his four co-stars from the original, KevinJames, Chris Rock, Rob Schneider and David Spade.

Sandler's most recent film, Jack and Jill is currentlyunderperforming, having grossed $76,000,000 worldwide. That's less than a thirdof the $271,000,000 that Grown Ups turned out last year, marking his mostsuccessful feature to date.
