Spaceman Release Date: The news about Adam Sandler’s next dramatic part, Spaceman, has been going around since late 2020. The movie is now set to come out in 2024. The 2017 book Spaceman of Bohemia by Czech author Jaroslav Kalfař was the inspiration for the sci-fi drama adventure movie.
Adam Sandler plays the title character, an astronaut named Jakub. Spaceman was written by Colby Day and directed by Johan Renck, who was known for his work on Chernobyl. It’s about an astronaut who is sent on a mission to space, where he meets and befriends an old creature that has stowed away on his ship.
Compared to the book, the movie is called “an intergalactic odyssey of love, ambition, and self-discovery.”
This new sci-fi movie will be a little more serious and complex than his usual laugh-out-loud stories with careless characters. It will still have some funny parts, though. Some of Sandler’s most praised movies are his more emotional ones, like Hustle, Uncut Gems, and Punch Drunk Love.
Spaceman might be a movie you want to see if you like Adam Sandler or just sci-fi thrills. While you wait for the movie to come out next year, you can read on to find out everything we know so far about Spaceman, including when it will come out, what it’s about, who will be in it, and what roles they will have.
What Is ‘Spaceman’ All About?
Spaceman is based on the plot of the original book and tells the story of Jakub, a Czech pilot. Jakub, a middle-aged, middle-class man, is sent on a mission to find and collect samples from a strange group of space dust. He is the first astronaut from a country that is now independent.
He doesn’t like the idea of going into space, though, and he misses his wife back home. Then Jakub meets a strange (and hopefully nice) creature on his spaceship. This starts an amazing adventure that no one has ever had before.
Johan Renck talked about the future movie in an interview with Netflix’s Tudum. He said that Jakub and Lenka’s marriage is the most important part of the movie.
Spaceman Release Date
After a lot of talk and delays, Spaceman finally has a date for its release: March 1, 2024, is when it will first show on Netflix.
This science fiction thriller will be one of Netflix’s exciting 2024 movies. Other highly anticipated movies on the list are Beverly Hills Cop: Axel F, Damsel, Lift, Rebel Moon — Part Two: The Scargiver, and The Old Guard 2.
While waiting for the premiere of the Spaceman Release Date, you can watch more shows in the same genre. Some examples of such shows are Monster Hunter 2 and Sandy Cheeks.
Does ‘Spaceman’ Have a Trailer?
Netflix showed off a 24-second sneak peek of Spaceman on December 19, 2023. We don’t see much in the sneak peek other than Adam Sandler as Jakub walking through a forest by a river, which makes it look like they are in another world. We also hear from the figure played by Paul Dano, who says:
“Just like you, I fled my planet. Through galaxies, through black holes, through time. Then I found you.”
After that, we see Sandler’s face up close, and then the title card comes up.
Netflix released the original trailer for Spaceman on January 16, 2024. It gives us a much better idea of what the movie is going to be about.
Who is the Cast of “Spaceman”?
Adam Sandler leads the cast of Spaceman as Jakub Procházka, a boy from the Czech countryside who was left without a parent and raised by his grandparents. He beats all chances to become the first astronaut of the independent Czech Republic and is sent on a space mission.
He has been the lead in twelve Netflix movies before this one: The Ridiculous 6, The Do-Over, Sandy Wexler, The Meyerowitz Stories (New and Selected), The Week Of, Murder Mystery, Hubie Halloween, and Hustle.
Sandyler was in three movies in 2023: the follow-up to Murder Mystery, a comedy about coming of age called You Are So Not Invited to My Bat Mitzvah; and an animated show called Leo. It was also just revealed that Sandler will be in Noah Baumbach’s next Netflix movie with George Clooney.
In an interview with Netflix’s Tudum, Johan Renck talked about choosing Adam Sandler to play the part. He said that he wanted the famous comic to give a performance that was unlike any other role he had played.
“I don’t think people understand how [although] he may come across as funny and sweet and all that, he’s very intelligent, really smart, profound.”
Renck also said nice things about Sandler’s work attitude on set, even though he had to hang from wires for a long time.
“It’s tremendously uncomfortable with all these harnesses and hanging in your own body weight. I think it’s painful in a way that’s actually going to be intrusive to your performance — unless you’re Adam, because he just pushed through that in an incredible way.”
Carey Mulligan, who was nominated for an Academy Award, joins the group as Lenka, Jakub’s pregnant wife. She is fresh off of a well-reviewed performance in Bradley Cooper’s Maestro.
Paul Dano, who just finished the hit drama Dumb Money, will play Hanuš, an alien creature that ends up becoming friends with Jakub. Renck also gave us a sneak peek at what Dano’s voice acting will be like:
“He has this peculiar cadence when he’s speaking, his careful formulation of words, and his very unique voice.”
Kunal Nayyar (The Big Bang Theory) plays Peter the mechanic in Spaceman. Isabella Rossellini (Blue Velvet), a famous actress, plays Commissioner Tuma, Jakub’s boss, and Lena Olin (The Unbearable Lightness of Being), a nominee for an Academy Award, plays Zdena.
