Here is what the new Friday Night Lights movie would be about it if they actually made it
Displaying the same sense of grit and determination against insurmountable odds that would make for a great football film, then a five-season television show adaptation, then another movie that would undo any sense of closure achieved by said television show, Peter Berg is once more talking up his potential Friday Night Lights continuation—this time giving you actual plot details to tack onto your own ideas of where everyone ended up, which are now wrong. During a recent press conference for Battleship (which we are still perfectly willing to pretend is a Friday Night Lights follow-up, really) Berg told MTV that showrunner Jason Katims is “about done” with the script, adding that it would feature a storyline that “parallels what happened to Mike Leach … a coach at Texas Tech who was unjustly fired and unjustly accused of mistreating a player with a concussion, which was proven to not have been the case.” Berg calls this a “redemption story,” one that would finally redeem Coach Taylor after years of being such a selfish, reprehensible reprobate. Seriously, the worst.
