Wilson is the dad trying to keep his family together after the death of his wife.Portman, who is producing the film with Lucy Cooper, plays a supermarket worker for whom the kid falls for after she saves him from a bully. Matt Weaver and Scott Prisand also are producing, while Scot Armstrong ("Old School") exec produces. Susser wrote the script with David Michod. CAA packaged the film and is co-representing the film's North American distribution rights with Endeavor.The movie begins shooting next week in Los Angeles.

ReplyDeleteAngels In The Outfield is probably one of my favorite sports movies, I watched that so much as a youngster. It had a magnificent cast: Joseph Gordon Levitt, Christopher Lloyd, Danny Glover, Tony Danza, Brenda Fricker, Matthew McConaughey, Adrien Brody, Ben Johnson, Neal McDonough, Dermot Mulroney. Just flap those wings brother.
