First look at Adam Sandler's 'Grown Ups' flick

The gang from Adam Sandler's made-in-Massachusetts movie "Grown Ups" were on set Monday, May 18 filming a funeral scene at the Pilgrim Congregational Church located at 15 Common St. in Southborough.

All of the film's major players were at the shoot including Kevin James, Chris Rock, Rob Schneider, David Spade and Salma Hayek. As previously reported in Loaded Gun Boston, the "Big Chill"-esque buddy flick is slotted to continue shooting in Southborough until Friday, May 22 with a return visit on Tuesday, May 26.

According to photographer Ryan Miner from Beantown Photo, on assignment for Loaded Gun Boston, the majority of the scenes were shot inside of Pilgrim Church on Monday, May 18 because of the weather.

However, the rain didn't stop the parade of stars.

"Adam Sandler waved to the crowd upon arriving at the set with a coffee cup in hand. Before leaving the set for lunch, he approached the crowd and signed autographs," Miner recalls.

"Chris Rock and David Spade took time before leaving to shake hands and sign autographs. Rob Schneider was about to be driven off when he asked his driver to stop the vehicle. Schneider called a couple of girls over to his window so they could take their photos with him and get autographs."

It's not something one would expect from a funeral scene, but Miner says the cast was in high spirits ... except for a hat-wearing starlet.

"Salma Hayek was very quiet," the photographer says. "She wore a hat with a large brim which concealed her identity. Many people in the crowd didn’t even see her arrive or leave. She was so elusive."
