“Ridiculous 6” Western comedy confirmed as Adam Sandler’s next film

PanARMENIAN.Net - The title of Adam Sandler’s next film will be Ridiculous 6, and it’s a comedy Western that Paramount Pictures has committed to put into production in April, Deadline said.

This is the laffer that Sandler was going to make at Sony before Happy Madison Productions moved it to Paramount.

The title is reminiscent of the 1960 United Artists pic The Magnificent Seven that starred Yul Brynner, Steve McQueen and Charles Bronson and James Coburn, the drama about seven gunfighters drafted to protect a Mexican town, so might this be a variation featuring inept gunslingers? The studio would not go beyond confirming the title and the terrain.

Sandler is going to write it with Tim Herlihy, and he will star in it and produce with Happy Madison. The film is already slated for Spring Break weekend 2014.

Herlihy and Sandler go back to his early stuff. Their collaborations include Billy Madison, Happy Gilmore, The Wedding Singer, The Waterboy, Little Nicky and Mr. Deeds, and Herlihy has been involved in producing capacities on some of the more recent films.
