‘Chappaquiddick’s John Curran Attached To Direct Biopic Of Boston Bruins Hockey Star Derek Sanderson

It’s understandable if you were all but done with Super Bowl Li. The second half turnaround for the New England Patriots was either one of the greatest or worst moments in sports history (for my money, it was closer to the latter…), and it’s time to put it behind us — at least, until the next season starts. But not so fast, a few Hollywood executives said. Quarterback Tom Brady‘s “comeback victory” at the Super Bowl will get the silver screen treatment, courtesy of screenwriters Paul Tamasy and Eric Johnson, the pens behind The Fighter and last year’s The Finest Hours.
The project will be based on the new, untitled book by Brady and Dave Wedge. It follows the Patriots’ return to the top (as if they ever really left…), and it’ll include Deflategate, “Brady’s fall from grace” (Ugh!) and then his “triumphant return” to their fifth championship.

What we’d like to know is who will be cast to portray Brady — star quarterback and, some argue, football’s G.O.A.T.
