Adam Sandler’s (The Meyerowitz Stories, The Week Of) latest Netflix original comedy feature Murder Mystery, also starring Jennifer Aniston (Horrible Bosses, Marley and Me), began filming this week. The feature will shoot in the harbor of Santa Margherita Ligure (Genoa) and in the Lake Como Area of Italy.
Sandler said about the start of filming: “I love Italy. I was here with my wife a year ago and loved it so much I brought the kids with me this time and an entire movie crew… great food, great people, great family life.”
When an NYC cop (Adam Sandler) finally takes his wife (Jennifer Aniston) on a long-promised European trip, a chance meeting on the flight with a mysterious man (Luke Evans) gets them invited to an intimate family gathering on the Super Yacht of elderly billionaire Malcolm Quince. When Quince is murdered, they become the prime suspects in a modern day whodunit.

Special Unit, Bienvenue chez les Ch’tis), and Academy Award nominee Terence Stamp (Miss Peregrine’s, The Limey).
Murder Mystery is directed by Kyle Newacheck (Game Over, Man!, Workaholics) and written by James Vanderbilt (The Amazing Spiderman, White House Down, Zodiac). The movie comes from Happy Madison, Engame Entertainment, Vinson Films, Denver and Delilah Productions, and producers Adam Sandler, Allen Covert, Tripp Vinson, James D.
