EXCLUSIVE: Amid monster viewership for Happy Gilmore 2 , which last month scored Netflix ‘s biggest U.S. opening weekend ever, Adam Sandler’s Happy Madison is teaming with Shawn Levy’s 21 Laps to develop a feature adaptation of Evan S. Porter ‘s debut novel Dad Camp , with Kevin Jakubowski on board to pen the script.
Published by Dutton in June 2024, Dad Camp follows John, a devoted father who finds his once-close bond with daughter Avery unraveling as she enters her preteen years. Desperate to reconnect before she starts middle school, he signs them up for a week-long father-daughter retreat at a rundown summer camp, where he’s forced to confront both his fears of losing her and the evolving nature of their relationship.
