The Curious Case of Adam Sandler’s “Flubber”
The highly anticipated sequel to the beloved 1997 comedy film Flubber has been the subject of speculation among fans. With the internet abuzz with rumors and a Flubber 2 poster featuring Adam Sandler surfacing online, excitement reached fever pitch. But is there any truth to this fantastical tale?
The Original Flubber
Released in 1997, the original Flubber followed the quirky scientist Professor Philip Brainard (played by the late Robin Williams) as he desperately tried to figure out a new energy source to save his college from closure. His efforts resulted in an extraordinary green, sentient goo with a penchant for bouncy chaos – whether it’s giving cars the ability to fly or turning a sub-par basketball team into super-powered Harlem Globetrotters.
Critics may have ripped it apart, but the movie was a modest box office success. Over 25 years later, rumors of a new movie have emerged. But is it true?
The Flubber 2 Hoax
Adam Sandler isn’t starring in Flubber 2, nor is any such project in development. Unfortunately, fans have been duped by a fake poster circulating on Facebook. Even the poster itself humorously sports a “Certified AI trash” badge – a clear indication that this one’s on us, folks!
