The highly anticipated sequel to the 1996 comedy starring Adam Sandler was spotted filming at Farmview Golf Center on East Avenue in Hackettstown on Tuesday, Sept. 17.
Community members gathered in front of the course hoping to catch a glimpse. Laura Dicker was one of the lucky ones who did, capturing Sandler and director Judd Apatow (see photos above).
In a Facebook post, Hackettstown police had warned residents of potential disruptions between 6 a.m. and 8 p.m. The closure included East Avenue on the Route 46 (Washington Township Morris County) side.
While the post didn't explicitly mention "Happy Gilmore 2," it didn't take long for commenters to put two and two together and share their excitement about the movie filming in town.
The movie has been filming all over New Jersey, with Adam Sandler having been spotted throughout the Garden State.
The movie will stream on Netflix and began production on Monday, Sept. 9.
Sandler will return in his role as Gilmore along with Christopher McDonald as his nemesis Shooter McGavin. Julie Bowen is returning, reprising her role as Happy's love interest from the first film. Bad Bunny is also joining the cast and Kansas City Chiefs tight end Travis Kelce is expected to appear.
