PRINCIPAL PHOTOGRAPHY WRAPS IN VANCOUVER

UNIVERSAL CITY, CA (July 19, 2018) – After a freak accident ruins Ben’s chances at the major leagues, he joins a competitive softball league for lawyers in Benchwarmers 2, the sequel to Revolution Studios’ wildly successful 2006 comedy The Benchwarmers. Filled with side-splitting antics, this latest project from Universal 1440 Entertainment, a production entity of Universal Pictures Home Entertainment, in partnership with Revolution Studios, has just wrapped principal photography in Vancouver, Canada and will be released for home entertainment in 2019.
