‘Spaceman’ trailer lands; Adam Sandler-led sci-fi debuts at next month’s Berlinale

Adam Sandler reportedly suffered for his art while filming Netflix’s “Spaceman.” Director Johan Renck, 57, claimed Sandler, also 57, was in “significant pain” while shooting scenes in zero gravity for the sci-fi movie, which is now available on the streamer.Sandler “was on wires, which means that he’s kind of fixed to the set, he can’t piss off when he wants to at all,” he told Entertainment Weekly. “He can’t move, he can’t do anything, and also under significant pain, because that’s what happens with this harness and these rigs — they start digging into your flesh, and after 24 days of shooting, that pain is real, I will tell you.”The Post has contacted reps for Sandler for comment.

In the end, Paul Thomas Anderson got there first, with Punch Drunk Love (2002), although the glow of a bona fide arthouse hit didn’t last long, and Jack and Jill still happened less than ten years later.
