KD in CA Posted June 22, 2012 Share Posted June 22, 2012 At a Hollywood production meeting several months ago: Guy 1: Hey, Moneyball was a hit. Let's do the same thing with another sport. How about football? Guy 2: Are there any NFL GMs with a feel-good, riches to rags to riches true story like Billy Bean? Guy 1: I don't think so. Guy 2: Are we going to get one of the 3 biggest movie starts on the planet to play the lead? Guy 1: I don't think so. Guy 2: I'm sold. Let's do it!

bills1960 Posted June 22, 2012 Share Posted June 22, 2012 Is this going to be a 2 hour long ripping of the franchise on the big screen? If so, maybe Russ Brandon should step in and do something about that? We may be "lovable losers" but we also have some integrity that shouldn't be jeopardized.

bills1960 Posted June 22, 2012 Share Posted June 22, 2012 thin skinned much? Eh, I guess I might be overreacting a tad. As long as it ends well and we win the superbowl! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dpberr Posted June 22, 2012 Share Posted June 22, 2012 This thread made me think about the last movie Reitman directed that anybody cared about. Haven't heard that guy's name in a long time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DC Tom Posted June 22, 2012 Share Posted June 22, 2012 Can't be much funnier than the one Mike Mularkey directed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I would think that using the name " Buffalo Bills", they're going to have to pay The Bills for using their name. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Optometric Insight Posted June 22, 2012 Share Posted June 22, 2012 I would think that using the name " Buffalo Bills", they're going to have to pay The Bills for using their name. Ralph is in on this idea! Didn't they already make a movie about the Bills. I think it was about wide right. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jerry Jone's Toupee Posted June 22, 2012 Share Posted June 22, 2012 I would think that using the name " Buffalo Bills", they're going to have to pay The Bills for using their name. I'm sure they will use bisons, water buffaloes or some other grazing animal. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Canadian Bills Fan Posted June 22, 2012 Share Posted June 22, 2012 At least second string had an A-List actor Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SF Bills Fan Posted June 22, 2012 Share Posted June 22, 2012 They already had a Bills related movie a few years back, right? Something about a replacement team? I don't think football related movies are very good except Rudy and the original Longest Yard. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Avenger Posted June 22, 2012 Share Posted June 22, 2012 Sadly, the project was canned when Reitman realized that the man he envisioned to play Buddy Nix, Slim Pickens, died in 1983...... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
