Hollywood actor and comedian Adam Sandler has revealed that Netflix made him make some drastic changes to his upcoming LeBron James-produced basketball film, Hustle, because its original plot involved China.

Sandler spoke to Netflixs interferrence during a recent interview with The Dan Patrick Show, during which he was asked about his role in the film, wherein he plays a former basketball recruiter who discovers a young talent while travelling abroad.

How do you come up with the idea that youre going to do a movie about a basketball scout for the Sixers, down on his luck, [who] finds this great player and is going to bring him back to the NBA to somehow reclaim his career life? asked Patrick.

First revealing that Patrick and his staff, The Dannettes, would make a cameo in the movie as themselves, exclaming, By the way, youre in the movie too, and so are The Dannettes and besides McLovin(Andrew Perloff), youre playing yourself, Sandler then turned to acknowledge that his role in the film came down to total luck.

[LeBron James and Maverick Carter] brought it to me, the actor continued. It was written, originally, that I find a player in China, and somehow Netflix is not in China.

He went on, So, they were like, Would you guys please make it that we find somebody in Latin America or Europe? So, next thing you know Im in Majorca.

Thats how it happened? asked Patrick, to which Sandler replied, Yes, it was, originally, I find a player in China.

The actor then revealed that he will be starring alongside Spanish NBA player Juan Alberto Juancho Hernangmez, who will play the role of the new recruit.

And I find Juancho Hernangmez whos just the greatestI cant tell you, Danny, he acts so much better than me, and every scene, Sandler explained. Its just like, goddamn it. This guy is falling, crying in the middle of a scene, doing the right thing. Every joke he says, Im like, He said it smoother than I would have.'

Unfortunately, given that the movies foreign segments have already been filmed using a European setting, we can only speculate how the movie itself wouldve played out if the original script hadnt been changed by Netflix.

As Sandler revealed during the interview, Netflix is not available in China, and chances are slim that the popular streaming service will be made available in the Communist country any time soon...

Is the china pandering finally over?

In this case, I think Netflix is just pissed that China banned Netflix.
