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.
Based on the 2017 novel “Spaceman of Bohemia” by Jaroslav Kalfař, Sandler plays Jakub Procházka, a former orphan who tries to become the Czech Republic’s first astronaut.
The drama features a giant spider-like alien voiced by Paul Dano.Since the alien was made using CGI, Renck revealed that Sandler “was acting against a tennis ball with me or somebody else reading the lines to him.”“Also, for me, it was really important to subject the cameras to the same physicality as our actor, namely zero gravity,” Renck continued. “We put the cameras on cranes with 360 heads so the cameras could rotate and go up and down.
