Netflix’s Happy Gilmore 2 Will De-Age Original Characters For Flashbacks
The beloved 1990s movie “Happy Gilmore” is set for a sequel on Netflix, and several of its original stars are coming back. A popular trend in modern films and television is “de-aging,” which involves using special effects to make characters appear younger. This technique can be contentious, particularly when it’s used to resurrect deceased actors. Actress Julie Bowen, returning as Virginia Venit from the first film, mentioned during an interview with Collider that there will be a scene in “Happy Gilmore 2” where this effect is used to make the cast appear younger.
