The Benchwarmers Begins
By James Wray Apr 19, 2005, 13:12 GMT
Filming has begun in Los Angeles on Revolution Studios' "The Benchwarmers," a comedy directed by Dennis Dugan and starring Rob Schneider, David Spade, Jon Heder, Jon Lovitz, Tim Meadows and Craig Kilborn. The film will be released by Columbia Pictures in 2006.
"The Benchwarmers" is being produced for Revolution Studios by Happy Madison Productions' Adam Sandler and Jack Giarraputo ("The Longest Yard," "50 First Dates," "Anger Management," "Big Daddy") from an original idea by Sandler and a script by Allen Covert ("Nana's Boy," "Eight Crazy Nights") and Nick Swardson ("Nana's Boy," "Malibu's Most Wanted"). Barry Bernardi ("The Longest Yard," "Anger Management," "Deuce Bigalow: Male Gigolo") is serving as executive producer and Swardson is serving as co-producer.
"The Benchwarmers" tells the story of three guys who try to make up for their lack of athleticism when they were younger by forming a three-man baseball team to challenge a full squad of elementary school baseballers. They develop a large following of left-out kids as they head for a high-stakes, winner-take-all game with the best team of kids in the state.

I have an inside source and I know that the teams that they play against are made up of the best little leaguers they could find for the movie. Also they filmed at multiple baseball fields including the one where Bad News Bears was filmed (though it is now developed and has 3 fields, 1 pony, 1 majors, 1 minors) Anyways also thought I would point this out that from what I hear they started filming in April and I think they should be wrapped up or wrapping up.
