Adam Sandler and multiple current and former NBA stars unite in the first trailer for Netflix’s basketball movie Hustle. After a few lesser-received theatrical movies, Sandler has found a new home for most of his films through Netflix. The streaming service has worked with the popular comedian on multiple movies and renewed their partnership in 2020 for 4 more films after Murder Mystery became a big hit. While Murder Mystery 2 and other Sandler-led comedies are still coming to Netflix, the streamer is also behind his first dramatic turn following Uncut Gems.
Produced by Los Angeles Lakers forward and four-time NBA Champion LeBron James, Hustle stars Sandler as Stanley Beren, a former basketball talent scout. His character finds a supremely talented but troubled international basketball prospect and attempts to make his NBA dreams a reality. Former Denver Nuggets forward Juan Hernangomez stars as Bo Cruz, the “once-in-a-life-time player” Sandler’s character finds. Netflix unveiled a brief look at Hustle during their 2022 movie trailer earlier in the year.
