If you grew up in the nineties, you undoubtedly grew up a massive fan of The Sandlot. A coming-of-age story centering around a group of baseball-loving kids who hang out every day in a Sandlot, the movie didn’t make much of a peep in theatres back in 1993. However, the box office didn’t tell the whole story, with the movie becoming a cult film on VHS, cable and later DVD, with writer-director David Mickey Evans eventually returning to make a Dtv spin-off, The Sandlot 2, while a prequel is still in development.
But what happened to all of the kids in The Sandlot? Unlike a movie like Stand by Me, there were no megastars like River Phoenix to emerge, but the cast still fared well in the years to come. Many have gone on to everyday lives, while others continue to work (successfully) in showbiz almost 30 years later. In this...

About a month ago The Sandlot co-writer and director David Mickey Evans announced that he was developing a sequel series that would bring back the original cast. One of the thngs he said at the time was that he sold his pitch to a streaming service. We now know that streaming service is Disney+!
The filmmaker revealed that the story would take place in 1984 and all of the characters will be adults with kids of their own. The ending of the original film offered a breakdown of what happened to all the kids when they grew up, but this series will obviously explore that a lot further.
The original cast for the series included Mike Vitar (Benjamin “Benny” Franklin Rodriguez), Patrick Renna (Hamilton “Ham” Porter), Chauncey Leopardi (Michael “Squints” Palledorous), Victor Dimattia (Timmy Timmons), Marty York (Alan “Yeah-Yeah” McClennan), Shane Obedzinski (Tommy “Repeat” Timmons), Grant Gelt (Bertram Grover Weeks), and...

Disney+ is priming The Sandlot for its streaming service, with the 1993 movie’s original director and co-writer David Mickey Evans attached to write and executive produce.
Deadline hears the series is in early development. The Sandlot is the second 20th Century Fox-related IP announced today to be developed for Disney’s streaming service. Earlier today, a Love, Simon TV series based on Greg Berlanti’s movie from last year was announced for Disney+ with This Is Us executive producers/co-showrunners Isaac Aptaker and Elizabeth Berger, who wrote the movie, writing/executive producing via their overall deal at 20th Century Fox TV.
The Sandlot series will be set in 1984, when the original cast are adults and they all have children of their own. The streaming series will be separate from the The Sandlot prequel film which Evans is writing with Austin Reynolds, which is to take place in the 1950s.

Disney+ is developing a TV series based on “The Sandlot,” Variety has learned.
David Mickey Evans, the co-writer and director of the 1993 film, is attached to write and executive produce the series. It is said to take in 1984 and would focus on the children of the original characters.
The first “Sandlot” film took place in the summer of 1962 and followed a group of friends who spent their days playing baseball while also dealing with a menacing dog that lived next to the titular sandlot that they referred to as The Beast. The film starred Tom Guiry, Mike Vitar, Karen Allen, Denis Leary, James Earl Jones, Patrick Renna, Chauncey Leopardi, Marty York, Brandon Quintin Adams, Grant Gelt, Shane Obedzinski, and Victor Dimattia. It grossed just over $33 million at the box office and has gone on to become a cult classic. Two direct-to-video sequels were produced in 2005 and 2007.

Are you ready to go back to The Sandlot? After 25 years, the original cast is returning at the direction of David Mickey Evans for a TV series. Evans wrote and directed the first two Sandlot movies, and according to The Hollywood Reporter, he's ready to bring the boys together for at least two seasons on an unnamed streaming service.
"I already got all the original cast members back," Evans said on The Rain Delay podcast, although he did not name the exact actors participating. "It takes place in 1984, when they're all like 33 years old and they all have children of their own, and that's all I can tell you."
This will be a jump forward from the original film, which was set in San Fernando Valley in 1962. If it's true that all the original cast members are returning, we can look forward to appearances from Scotty Smalls (Tom Guiry), Hamilton...

One of my favorite baseball movies of all time is easily The Sandlot. That was such a wonderfully fantastic film that connected with a lot of kids growing up in the 90s. It’s a classic and now that classic movie is getting a sequel series that will bring back the original cast!
There have been sequels in the past already, but none of them have been able to capture the magic of that original film. Hopefully, this sequel will change that.

The original writer and director, David Mickey Evans, is coming back to cowrite the script with newcomer Austin Reynolds.

The cult classic recently celebrated its 25th anniversary with a special cast reunion and a two-day return to theaters. The heartwarming comedy is set in 1962 and tells the story of Scotty Smalls (Tom Guiry) who moves to a new neighborhood and is taken under the wing of local baseball superstar Benny Rodriguez (Mike Vitar).

People who watched a lot of kids’ movies in the 1990s might remember Mike Vitar. For those who are unfamiliar with that name, Vitar was a child actor who appeared in a number of kids’ movies in that period of time. One excellent example was The Sandlot, which was a baseball movie in which he played the role of Benny the Jet, who was the single most important character besides the main character. Another excellent example were D2: The Mighty Ducks and D3: The Mighty Ducks, which saw him playing a member of the team named Luis Mendoza. Besides these

At the end of “The Sandlot,” the narrator explains how each of the kids ended up as each one fades from the screen. Some moved away, Benny the Jet made it to the big leagues, and Squints married Wendy Peffercorn. Earlier, TheWrap explored why some movies will be remembered but “The Sandlot” will never die. But 25 years later, we’ll explore where the film’s actors actually ended up.
Tom Guiry – Scotty Smalls
After making his film debut with “The Sandlot,” Tom Guiry continued to pursue acting and landed roles in “Mystic River,” “The Revenant” and “Black Hawk Down.” He most recently starred in “Wonder Wheel” and “Sollers Point.”
Mike Vitar – Benny “The Jet” Rodriguez
Mike Vitar continued his reputation as a sporty, teen heartthrob by appearing in both “Mighty Ducks” sequels “D2” and “D3.” His last acting role was in 1997 for a show called “Chicago Hope,” at which point he retired and became a firefighter. But in 2015, Vitar was charged with assault and reached a plea deal to avoid time behind bars in 2017.
Chauncey Leopardi – Squints
Leopardi spoke with TheWrap and says he’s keeping busy with a family and some businesses, as well as appearing at events for “The Sandlot” whenever he can. As an actor he’s also starred in “Freaks and Geeks,” “Gilmore Girls” and most recently “Coldwater” in 2013.
Patrick Renna – Ham
Originally from Boston, Patrick Renna still acts. Outside of “The Sandlot,” he had a memorable leading role in “The Big Green” while still young. More recently, he starred in episodes of “Boston Legal,” “Judging Amy” and 2016’s “Fear, Inc.”
Marty York – Yeah-Yeah
In addition to seriously bulking up, Marty York appeared in episodes of “Boy Meets World” and “The Eric Andre Show.”
Brandon Quintin Adams – Kenny DeNunez
Brandon Quintin Adams, also just Brandon Adams, had small roles in other ’90s hits “The Fresh Prince of Bel-Air,” “Sister-Sister” and “Moesha.” He also did a voice for “Kingdom Hearts 2” and has recorded music as a rapper under the name B. Lee.
Grant Gelt – Bertram Grover Weeks
Grant Gelt had a few acting roles after “The Sandlot,” including “Boy Meets World” and “Hey Arnold!,” but he now works as a music manager.
Victor Dimattia – Timmy Timmons
Victor Dimattia went on two direct two short films and appeared in the 2018 indie “Get Married Or Die.”
Shane Obedzinski – Tommy “Repeat” Timmons
Unlike his onscreen counterpart, Shane Obedzinski didn’t directly follow in the footsteps of his onscreen brother. After leaving acting, he opened a pizza shop in Florida, but was glad to join in for the 20th anniversary festivities.
Marley Shelton – Wendy Peffercorn
Marley Shelton, who played the lifeguard all the boys are gaga over in “The Sandlot” Wendy Peffercorn, has starred in “Sin City,” “Planet Terror,” “Never Been Kissed,” “Death Proof,” “Scream 4” and more. She currently stars on the series “Rise” and will next be seen in Dwayne Johnson’s “Rampage.”
Denis Leary – Bill, Scott’s Stepdad
Taking a role as a fairly straight-laced, if imposing stepdad was a departure for the firebrand comedian back in 1993, but he would eventually move into far more dramatic roles on “Rescue Me” and more. And thankfully, he’s still a fan of “The Sandlot.”
Karen Allen – Scott’s Mom
Following “The Sandlot,” Karen Allen would reprise her more famous role as Marion in “Indiana Jones and the Crystal Skull.” She most recently starred in “Year by the Sea” in 2016.
James Earl Jones – Mr. Mertle
It’s like he never really left!

Marley Shelton, who played the lifeguard all the boys are gaga over in “The Sandlot” Wendy Peffercorn, has starred in “Sin City,” “Planet Terror,” “Never Been Kissed,” “Death Proof,” “Scream 4” and more. She currently stars on the series “Rise” and will next be seen in Dwayne Johnson’s “Rampage.”
Denis Leary – Bill, Scott’s Stepdad
Taking a role as a fairly straight-laced, if imposing stepdad was a departure for the firebrand comedian back in 1993, but he would eventually move into far more dramatic roles on “Rescue Me” and more. And thankfully, he’s still a fan of “The Sandlot.”
Karen Allen – Scott’s Mom
Following “The Sandlot,” Karen Allen would reprise her more famous role as Marion in “Indiana Jones and the Crystal Skull.” She most recently starred in “Year by the Sea” in 2016.
James Earl Jones – Mr. Mertle
It’s like he never really left!

Ellen DeGeneres wasn't afraid to put Kourtney Kardashian and Kendall Jenner in the hot seat. The Keeping Up With the Kardashian stars spilled the tea during "Ellen's Burning Questions" – a segment on the talk-show host's online series Show Me More. Starting with a tame question, the two sisters revealed their first celebrity crushes. For Kendall, her first heartthrob was Benny the Jet Rodriguez from The Sandlot. Mike Vitar played Benny in the 1993 baseball flick and later went on to play Luis Mendoza in the second and third Mighty Ducks movies. Kourtney's first celebrity crush was none other than Leonardo DiCaprio. "I used to write Kourtney DiCaprio on all my papers in...

Former child actor Michael Vitar, who starred in “The Sandlot,” is being sued over a Halloween 2015 attack on a man who was handing out candy to children in his grandmother’s neighborhood.
In the suit, filed in Los Angeles Superior Court on Thursday, Samuel Chang alleges that he was chased down, tackled and choked by Vitar and others. When police arrived, the defendants lied to them, telling the police that Chang was on PCP and had a weapon on him, the lawsuit says.

Not even Kendall Jenner was immune to the Bieber Fever. The 20-year-old caught up with W magazine and wasn't shy in admitting she once crushed on Justin Bieber, though he most certainly wasn't her first choice (that goes to Mike Vitar aka Benny "The Jet" Rodriguez from The Sandlot). "I was more into the Disney kids. Like, I think I had a crush on Zack and Cody [Dylan and Cole Sprouse] from Suite Life of Zack and Cody," she explained, before adding, "Justin Bieber was like the pop star of my time. I feel like I must have had a 12-year-old crush on him." Before you get any ideas, however, she quickly noted, "Not anymore though!" Speaking of crushes,...

The Sandlot is a beloved film that over the last 23 years has gained quite a cult following thanks its joyous nostalgia that’s along the lines of A Christmas Story.

Last week, EW published The 55 Essential Movies Kids Must Experience (Before Turning 13). Predictably, given that we published a post on the Internet whose headline contained a concrete number and the word “essential,” we got some impassioned feedback from readers—many of whom were eager to suggest additional great movies kids should see that we’d left out.
As we noted last week, “This isn’t a list of the 55 ‘best’ kids movies, nor a compendium of hidden gems. Rather, it’s a survival-guide syllabus of films that we all need to know to be able to speak the same pop-cultural language.

Chicago – 1993 will be nostalgically remembered by many members of my generation as the summer of “Jurassic Park” and the spring of “The Sandlot.” If you were a movie-loving kid during this year, it’s highly likely both of these films occupied a corner of your imagination. I clearly remember how the junkyard dog, dubbed by neighborhood pals in “The Sandlot” as “the Beast,” seemed as terrifying as any T-Rex.
Since I was seven years old in 1993, my parents wouldn’t allow me to be traumatized by Spielberg’s monster movie (I later saw it on VHS during a snow day, and was absolutely spellbound). But I did see “The Sandlot,” and prided myself on being able to handle the gleefully scary scenes where a group of boys attempts to snatch a prized baseball from the jaws of the Beast. Viewed 20 years later, I now see why it was so effortless...

What, you're too good for a kiddy movie about baseball? You're killing me, Smalls.
Let's start with the most shocking statistic of all: This is the third baseball movie I've considered for "Best Movie Ever?" status. Unsettling, right? A League of Their Own and The Bad News Bears are worthy candidates, but it's still dubious news. I didn't even pick the baseball movie with Glenn Close in it! Why, Louis, why?! (That movie is terribly boring is why. Even Glenn thinks her role was "orbitally written." Also, Robert Redford does nothing for me. Or You. Unless he's directing Timothy Hutton to break our hearts, of course.)
The Sandlot is a juvenile movie with a buttery nostalgic glow, but its starring team of ragtag 12-year-olds is never saccharine, corny, or phony. These kids chew tobacco, use swear words, and embarrass themselves constantly, and therefore The Sandlot is a very effective, nostalgic...

The Sandlot is almost twenty years old? You're killing me, Smalls. The nostalgic baseball period pic released into theaters in April 1993, which feels like yesterday (or maybe "for-eh-ver" ago). The Sandlot was previously released on Blu-ray, however, in honor of its 20th anniversary, it's being re-released on Blu-ray, with some baseball themed cover art. Directed by David M. Evans, The Sandlot is set in the early 60s and stars Tom Guiry as Scotty Smalls, an awkward kid who moves to a new neighborhood when his mother remarries. He's eventually taken under the wing by neighborhood kid Benny Rodriguez (Mike Vitar), who invites him into a group of kids who spend as much of their summer vacation as they can on the lot playing baseball and obsessing over the Great Bambino (aka The Titan of Terror, the Colossus of Clout, The King of Crash). That's Babe Ruth - not to be...

I missed last week since I was in Vegas and San Diego, so we've got two weeks to rehash, and we learned that producers decided to make Betty Francis fat in order to hide January Jones' super secret pregnancy. I'll tell you why this bothers me -- Betty Francis? Hyper-controlled, freakishly frigid Betty (Draper) Francis? I'm not buying it. I saw her going more the other route -- getting addicted to uppers or something -- that...

Tonight is baseball's annual All-Star game and to honor the occasion The Wall Street Journal put together their own all-star team, a sort of fantasy fantasy baseball roster: the greatest fictional ball players in movie history.
You should go over and check out WSJ.com for the whole roster but I'll say this for the piece's author, the aptly named Jared Diamond: he put together a team with very few holes. There are obvious movie ball players that jump to mind: of course Ricky "Wild Thing" Vaughn (Charlie Sheen) will be the movie All-Stars' closer; of course Roy Hobbs (Robert Redford) from "The Natural" will be in left field. But Diamond didn't forget the obscure choices either. He's got the legendary Benny "The Jet" Rodriguez (Mike Vitar) from "The Sandlot," and he even put the titular monkey from Matt LeBlanc's "Ed" as a utility player on the bench.
