The life story of Jackie Robinson and his history-making signing with the Brooklyn Dodgers under the guidance of team executive Branch Rickey.
Director:Brian HelgelandStars:Chadwick Boseman, Harrison Ford, Alan Tudyk, Kelley Jakle |
Brian Helgeland excels with serious drama, especially as a screenwriter (L.A. Confidential and Mystic River come to mind), so I am looking forward to what he does with this landmark sports story as its writer/director. Of course it's a huge undertaking for the relatively unknown Chadwick Boseman, and a major casting risk on the studio's part, but that makes us want to root even harder for everyone involved.
