How many more sequels can be in the news this year? THR reports Taylor Lautner may join Adam Sandler in "Grown Ups 2," the follow-up to 2010's box office darling starring Adam Sandler and a motley crew of reunited friends.

Lautner will be joined by much of the cast of the original "Grown Ups," as Sandler, Maya Rudolph, Kevin James, Salma Hayek, Chris Rock and David Spade are all expected to return. Dennis Dugan will return to direct, and the film is slated for a July 2013 release.

The first film brought in $162 domestically and added another $271 million worldwide, making it a bonafide hit for Columbia Pictures. In the movie, a group of friends is reunited in the wake of the death of their high school basketball coach.

The "Twilight" star ("Breaking Dawn Part 2" is out in November) already broke out of his teen fiction mold by playing an action hero in 2011's "Abduction." Adding "Grown Ups" to his IMDb profile at such a young age (he just turned 20 in February) is a sign that Lautner isn't going to make the mistake of letting his early breakout role define him (paging Daniel Radcliffe).

Lautner's addition is also good news for Sandler, who is co-producing the sequel with Jack Giarraputo. Though Sandler set an unfortunate record over the weekend by sweeping the Razzie awards for "Jack and Jill" and "Just Go With It," he's apparently not resting on his laurels. Sandler's company Happy Madison is reportedly in talks to remake the 1987 comedy "Summer School."

He just keeps on keepin' on, that Sandler.

據(jù)國外媒體報道，曾于2010年上映的喜劇片《長大后》將拍續(xù)集，亞當(dāng)·桑德勒(《初戀50次》、《人生遙控器》)已確認(rèn)主演，導(dǎo)演丹尼斯·杜根亦可能再次執(zhí)導(dǎo)，凱文·詹姆斯、克里斯·洛克、羅伯·施奈德、大衛(wèi)·斯佩德、薩爾瑪·海耶克、瑪婭·魯?shù)婪?、瑪麗亞·貝羅等原班人馬也有望回歸出演。

近期，90后年輕“小狼”泰勒·洛特納(《暮色》、《綁架》)也被邀加盟，具體細(xì)節(jié)正在商談之中。如果簽約成功，洛特納將在劇中出演和老戲骨桑德勒對手的重要角色。
分析稱，洛特納的《綁架》去年票房失利，他很可能接拍《長大后2》吸金。但也有分析認(rèn)為，目前《暮色4》下集已接近尾聲(11月16日上映)，對于洛特納，《長大后2》提供的只是一個好玩的角色而已，實(shí)際上，他正在為自己尋找下一部大戲。

而作為“好片不多，爛片不少”的喜劇搭檔，桑德勒和丹尼斯都已有失利前科。就在剛過去的愚人節(jié)， 亞當(dāng)·桑德勒憑《杰克與吉爾》“橫掃”十項(xiàng)金酸梅大獎，而 丹尼斯·杜根也曾以《冒牌老爸》、《我盛大的同志婚禮》兩度獲得金酸梅獎最差導(dǎo)演提名。如此以來，《長大后2》能否再獲成功，顯然不好預(yù)知。

該片已預(yù)定于明年7月12日上映。?
