Adam Sandler takes on a serious role in the upcoming film 'Spaceman,' directed by Johan Renck. The film explores themes of loneliness and disconnection, set in an alternative future where the Czechs lead the space race. Sandler plays Jakub, the lead cosmonaut on a mission to investigate a space cloud holding the secrets of the universe.
Shot at the end of the pandemic, the film's production was marked by challenges, with some actors barely meeting and others working remotely. Sandler's portrayal of Jakub's loneliness was enhanced by unique filming techniques, such as acting with a tennis ball to simulate isolation.
