The Sandlot Prequel in the Works
A prequel for The Sandlot, the iconic 1990s baseball pic that followed the antics of a crew of kids who accidentally sacrifice a Babe Ruth-signed baseball to the neighborhood dog, is in the works at 20th Century Fox, The Hollywood Reporter has confirmed.
The project, now in advanced development at the studio, will be penned by the original director and writer, David Mickey Evans, and Austin Reynolds. Plans for a prequel come on the heels of the baseball film's 25th anniversary.
The original movie starred mainly children, including Tom Guiry (who played Scotty Smalls), Chauncey Leopardi (Michael "Squints" Palledorous), Brandon Quintin Adams (Kenny DeNunez), Shane Obedzinski (Tommy "Repeat" Timmons), Victor DiMattia (Timmy Timmons), Marty York (Alan "Yeah-Yeah" McClennan), Grant Gelt (Bertram Grover Weeks) and Renna (Hamilton "Ham" Porter).
There's no word on a plotline for the prequel.

So I guess Smalls won't be in the prequel, unless they want to give a fascinating insight into how his mom met his step-dad.

The birth of Hercules. The Sandlot is actually slang for his momma’s hoo-haw.

I read something that this could end up on the Disney streaming service.

Not that I'm clamoring for one, but wouldn't a sequel set 25 years later with everyone as adults make more sense?
