Adam Sandler's Outer Space Netflix Movie Spaceman Adds Carey Mulligan

Following her Best Actress nomination for Promising Young Woman, it's now been reported that Carey Mulligan will appear in the next movie from Adam Sandler for Netflix.

Deadline reports that Mulligan will star in the Sandler movie Spaceman, which tells the story of an astronaut (Sandler) who goes deep into space to collect very old dust. "He soon finds his earthly life falling to pieces, and he turns to the only voice who can help him try to put it back together. It just so happens to belong to a creature from the beginning of time lurking in the shadows of his ship," reads a line from its description.

According to the report, Mulligan will play the astronaut's wife. The movie is based on the Jaroslav Kalfar book and will be directed by Chernobyl's Johan Renck. Colby Day adapted the book for the screen.

Spaceman is Mulligan's fifth project with Netflix, following Mudbound, The Dig, Maestro, and Collateral. Mulligan's Academy Award nomination for Promising Young Woman is her second, following her first nomination for 2009's An Education.

Spaceman is one of the handful of Sandler projects in the works right now for Netflix. We also recently learned about the movie The Home Team, which will feature Kevin James in the role of NFL coach Sean Payton.
