Adam Sandler began filming his new movie, I Hate You, Dad, in Everett, Massachusetts this week. A few of our readers spotted Adam on the set, where they’ve transformed the town’s old high school on Broadway into the ‘Somerville Junior High School’.
According to one of our commenters, Brian, “these scenes are set in the 80âēs when Adam Sandler’s character was in middle school. They converted the old classrooms to look like 80s classrooms with old tape players vcrs, old desks, etc. They redecorated the gym and auditorium on the 1st floor. The gym looks nice with the bulldog emblem on the basketball court. The halls have fake art work and posters like ‘John for Class President’ and ‘Bake Sale Friday’.”
Another one of our commenters, Nancy, wrote, “Adam came out to the back of the Old Everett High School around 5:15 p.m. I lifted my 10 year Granddaughter on my shoulder and he came right over, signed her book and took a pic with her. He high-fived her and called her ‘sweetie’. He is very nice to the children.”
Check out these photos sent to us by another one of our readers, Bella, who caught Adam signing and posing with fans outside the school today too!
Adam will be back at the old High School set tomorrow as well.
Thanks again to all of our tipsters, commenters, and all who have provided information and photos, its always appreciated and we hope to hear more as the shoot continues!

Then look online at casting places like Boston Casting or New England Films and do it the right way by applying and giving them your picture. There are more movies this summer and fall being shot here in the Boston area so if you want in (and it’s like an 11 hour day or more for those over 18, just to warn you), then go ahead and apply.
wow! Adam is an amazing actor! love all his movies! Go Adam! ð
I’m working on this picture, as well as a few other feature films, and the article does not tell the whole story. These people that gathered around were being terrible and disruptive! Extra security was called in because they would not be quiet, kept sneaking into the school, and were so disruptive that the crew could get the shot needed until the security took care of things. It SUCKED.
If you want to be an extra on a movie set, then APPLY. This film was all over the internet looking for kids, they had places on the Cape and in Boston just a few weeks ago. There are tons of feature films being shot in the Boston area so if you want to be an extra and meet the celebrities, then just go to Boston Casting or New England Films and get your info there. Don’t be a pain in the butt and scream at the celebrities while they are trying to work. You won’t get an autograph or a photo (not allowed for anybody in the film to shoot pics or bug the other actors) but you might get to hang out with them or get a high five, which is so much better and gives you a story you will not forget.
Mr. Sandler is a nice man but it was hot yesterday and he did not deserve to be hounded like that. See the pics? He’s not happy and had to stop working and go inside to get away from these people who were trying to sneak in. I know it’s the life of a celebrity, but I wish more people would be respectful and let them work. At the least, shut up and let them get the shot they need!
If you show up today, maybe keep in mind that this is their job and they need people to be silent while on the set. That includes local folks wanting a glimpse or autograph of the celebrity. Have some respect and they will show you the same.

what are the times that they are filming?
i need to know if i can be a extra for the movie i hate you dad. i am 12 and i live in everett let me know if i can be a extra thank you.
I’m working on this film, and i’m 13 years old.. it’s cool to say i’ve worked in an Adam Sandler film alongside one of my favorite actresses Miss Leighton Meester (Gossip Girl) and of course Adam Sandler himself.. it was a blast. They may want me to film more scenes then i already filmed, it was a blast so far.. all the famous actors/actresses on the set were very nice. We aren’t allowed to take pictures which is a bummer i’d love to show my friends but there’s always the movie premiere for photos, or when filming wraps.. who know’s ð
I heard from a security guard working on the film in Peabody that the shots filmed in Everett were so bad that they will not be used in the movie.
