Adam Sandler has made comedies in all sorts of subgenres, but one place he hasn’t really gone before is the western. Now he seems keen to remedy that, as Deadline reports that he and his production company, Happy Madison, are moving forward with the wild west spoof, Ridiculous Six.
Not too much is known about the plot, although the title is a play on The Magnificent Seven, so expect a group of bumbling, accidental heroes fighting off some banditos (and what’s the betting Sandler manages to squeeze Rob Schneider in there somewhere).
The film was originally set up at Sony, but has now moved to Paramount. Sandler will co-write with his longtime collaborator Tim Herlihy. No director appears to be attached as yet, but shooting is scheduled to kick off next April.
