I'm usually not a fan of Sandler, but he absolutely rocked it in Uncut Gems, so I'm pretty excited to see this one.

This is the best summary I could come up with:
Netflix’s next sci-fi movie has a surprising lead.
The streamer just released the first (very brief) teaser for Spaceman, which stars Adam Sandler as an astronaut who encounters a mysterious alien creature (voiced by Paul Dano) while on a research mission in space.
The film, directed by Johan Renck, sounds weird and grim and is based on the Czech novel Spaceman of Bohemia by Jaroslav Kalfař.
There’s not a lot to go on in the brief teaser, but the setup holds a lot of promise, and I, for one, am happy to see Sandler return to serious fare.
In a post on Netflix’s blog, Renck said of Sandler, “I really wanted to have a performance from him that had nothing to do with the Adam Sandler we all know.”
The rest of the Spaceman cast includes Kunal Nayyar, Lena Olin, and Isabella Rossellini, and the film starts streaming on Netflix on March 1st, 2024.
