Tom Brady to Produce and Appear in Road Trip Comedy 80 FOR BRADY Starring Lily Tomlin, Jane Fonda, Rita Moreno, and Sally Field
Right on the heels of NFL quarterback Tom Brady’s retirement announcement, the athlete has stepped right into Hollywood to produce and appear in the upcoming football-themed road trip comedy 80 For Brady. The film will star Hollywood icons Lily Tomlin, Jane Fonda, Rita Moreno, and Sally Field. The film will be directed by Kyle Marvin from a script he co-wrote with Michael Covino. Marvin, who appears as an actor in the upcoming Apple limited series WeCrashed and co-wrote and starred in indie movie The Climb, is also executive producing with Covino, under the duo’s Watch This Ready banner, and Jeff Stott.
Inspired by a true story, “Brady tells of four best friends and New England Patriots fans who take a life-changing trip to the 2017 Super Bowl LI to see their quarterback hero, Tom Brady, play and the chaos that ensues as they navigate the wilds of the biggest sporting event in the country. Tomlin, Fonda, Moreno and Field will play the quartet.”
Production is due to begin this spring. Does this sound like a story you might like?
