However, Sandler has a supposedly crushing blow to his hands with an NBA character AcceleratesMovie Big win with critics and fans And he gained a large number of followers thanks to the appearance of many NBA stars. And for those who have seen the movie, there are even some shots taken during an official NBA game, and Accelerates Director Jeremiah Zagar told CinemaBlend’s ReelBlend podcast how it happened.
The rest of this story will contain light spoilers for Accelerates. Stop reading now if you’ve gotten this far and don’t want to know anything at all about the movie.
in Accelerates, Adam Sandler plays a talented Philadelphia 76er scout named Stanley Sugarman, who spotted a highly talented basketball player (Juancho Hernangomez) and then coached him for the NBA Combine and Draft. By the end of the film, Stanley secured a place as an assistant coach for the Sixers, but his client, Bo, was drafted into the Boston Celtics. During the film’s final credits, Stanley was watching from the bench as he faced the Bo The Sixers, and Jeremiah Zagar told the ReelBlend podcast that this footage was taken during the actual NBA competition that Hernangomez happened to be a part of.
As the director explains:
This is a real game. So what we did to the credit sequence is that we wanted to do – because Guancho was traded to the Celtics (in real life) at the end of the season, the end of the season. And so … all the producers, we all came together. And I was like, “We need to shoot the match.” And (my cinematographer) was like, ‘Okay, okay. We will find a solution.’ …what we did is we got Adam and Doc (Rivers) and the coaches, the real coaches, all to film this final sequence. And we paid Adam’s side and Doc and Coach’s side one day. Then we went in during an actual game, and we shot Guanchou and the rest of the whole team. Then we put the new Huanchou number on his jersey. So this is a real game to watch. And those are real moments that you actually see in the match.
Like most events in AcceleratesThese scenes flaunt the authenticity that comes with using actual NBA players who’ve gone through with making it a pro. Accelerates So says co-star Anthony Edwards The trash speaks in the movie Isn’t that intense in the actual league, sports sequences Get inspired by more boxing movies What they do in basketball movies. But showing real NBA players taking part in a game helps elevate Hustle to another level. In fact, Jeremiah Zagar said he captured moments with real Philadelphia Sixers players that he couldn’t have faked. He went on to tell ReelBlend:
Actually taking Matisse (Thybulle) – I don’t know if you remember this, the credit sequence was one of my favorite parts of the entire movie. But when Matisse fell, he was kicked out of the air, calming the entire field. Like, everyone was afraid that he was really hurt. Then he got up and like, they kind of got into it, he and the other player. This is a real moment that happened in real time during that match, as it is with all the moments in that match. But that was, sort of, a moment (where) I was like, “Wow, it’s so crazy we’re picking up on this.”
