Netflix is delivering the King of Queens to The Big Easy.
The streaming service’s original films division hopes such a concept will score some laughs this NFL postseason, as noted New York Jets fan Kevin James will portray New Orleans Saints head coach Sean Payton in the film “Home Team”, a new comedy made in conjunction with Adam Sandler’s Happy Madison Productions.
Sandler, a fellow Jets fan, is listed as an executive producer for the film, which co-stars Taylor Lautner (“Twilight”) and Rob Schneider (“Deuce Bigalow: Male Gigalo”).
The film is loosely based on Payton’s 2012 endeavors, which saw him coach his son’s youth football team (the Liberty Christian Warriors) in Argyle, Texas during his yearlong NFL-mandated suspension for his role in the “Bountygate” scandal.
