#SPOTTED: ADAM SANDLER, PETER DINKLAGE & JOSH GAD IN TORONTO FILMING “PIXELS”

If you’ve been in downtown Toronto this past week, chances are at some point you’ve noticed a massive overhaul of our Financial District, in what now eerily resembles New York City. Heads have turned and confusion was had as Broad Street signs and Wall Street Subway Entrances surfaced before the eyes of unsuspecting Torontonians bound for another day at work. The reason for all the commotion of course is Director Chris Columbus’ (Home Alone) latest endeavour, Pixels which sees Experts enlisted to help save New York City from an attack of  ’80s Video Game Characters!

The Action/Fantasy/Comedy stars an eclectic and talented Cast including Adam Sandler, who currently can be seen on-screen in Rom-Com, Blended. Game of Thrones’ Peter Dinklage also stars, sporting an awesome Mullet, as does Kevin James (The King of Queens) and Josh Gad (Frozen). Sandler, Dinklage and Gad were spotted filming a chaotic scene tonight involving several ambulances and police cars. Sandler was kind to take a moment to say “hi” to Fans at Starbucks, occasionally stopping to play with his adorable two Daughters Sadie and Sunny.

We spotted Sandler earlier after a quick game of Basketball with his Buddies, before heading out for a long night of shooting. We’ve met him once before and had a happy memory of that moment and are glad that things haven’t changed. Sandler truly is the Real Deal and the same lovable guy we see on-screen. During his stay so far, he’s been spotted bringing his Girls out to see the National Ballet of Canada’s Production of Cinderella and this weekend he was seen dining at Sassafraz. A source also reports a rare sight of Sandler and Dinklage goofing around outside of Whole Foods!

#TIFF12: KEVIN JAMES AT PRESS CONFERENCE FOR “HOTEL TRANSYLVANIA”

Adorable Funnyman Kevin James was perhaps one of the greatest surprises of the day, showing-up at the Press Conference for Hotel Transylvania as prior he had not been confirmed.  The King of Queens Star arrived much to the delight of Fans earlier today and  in addition to having completed work recently on Grown-Ups 2, his next release will be Here Comes the Boom this October where we will see him undergo a massive physical transformation after Mixed Martial Arts training.

#TIFF12: ADAM SANDLER AT PRESS CONFERENCE FOR “HOTEL TRANSYLVANIA”

No other Film at TIFF 2012 was able to string together a Cast more game  to promote than Hotel Transylvania. The Animated Feature saw a Powerhouse Cast of Funnymen and Funnywomen arriving in Toronto for its TIFF 2012 Premiere, including Adam Sandler, Andy Samberg, Fran Drescher, David Spade, Molly Shannon, Kevin James and also Selena Gomez.  The Film opens September 28, 2012 via Sony Pictures.

Earlier this morning at its Press Conference, the Cast of Hotel Transylvania showed nothing but true hospitality to Fans, coming over to take plenty of Photos and sign Autographs.  After years of admiring his work, I had the ultimate pleasure of snapping a Photo with Sandler, whom I’ve loved since his Saturday Night Live days.
