Kevin James' new movie role is breaking a 16-year tradition.
James is a beloved actor and comedian who rose to global fame after his role in the TV sitcom The King of Queens, before joining forces with the likes of Adam Sandler to star in several of his comedy movies. Some of the major titles include Hotel Transylvania, Hitch, 50 First Dates, and Here Comes the Boom. Now, James is returning to a major franchise, and it is officially breaking a major tradition set 16 years ago with the first installment.
James has been spotted filming the upcoming and highly anticipated Grown Ups 3, with new set videos surfacing of the entire star-studded cast led by Sandler. However, the major change that breaks a near two-decade tradition is that the cast is not filming in the U.S. and has taken their antics overseas to Europe. Shoots were planned at various places in New Jersey, and they will be traveling to France and Italy.
