Prequel to ‘The Sandlot’ reportedly in early development
Good news for fans of “The Sandlot” — a prequel reportedly is in early development.
Deadline reported on Tuesday that a prequel for the hit sports comedy movie is in the works. They say that David Mickey Evans, who wrote and directed the original, will be involved in the project for 20th Century Fox, along with Austin Reynolds.
The original film, which came out in 1993, received renewed attention this year as it celebrated its 25th anniversary. Members of the original cast got together and even recreated the classic movie photo.

Two other movies were made after the success of the original film, but neither of them received much attention. A new movie involving some of the original cast members would certainly get fans excited.
