Movie in the works about legendary Green Bay Packers coach Vince Lombardi
Packers fans, rejoice: Vince Lombardi is about to get his very own biopic. Legendary Pictures is building on the success of its Jackie Robinson/Branch Rickey movie, 42, by developing a film based around the life of the late, legendary Green Bay Packers coach. All Is Lost and Margin Call writer-director J.C. Chandor will write the script with an eye toward directing. The Lombardi estate is already on board, as is David Marinnis, author of the Lombardi biography When Pride Still Mattered. The producers of Lombardi, a recent Broadway play that starred The Wonder Years’ Dan Lauria, are also on board.
