SoFlaJets Posted December 25, 2010 Share Posted December 25, 2010 yea I love Bart Scott. What's all this about a movie...anybody hear about this? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Maxman Posted December 25, 2010 Share Posted December 25, 2010 The Bart Scott movie thing seems like it could be interesting. Found this: http://www.deadline.com/2010/11/jets-star-bart-scott-gets-scribe-for-biopic/ Bob Shaye and Michael Lynne's Unique Pictures has set New York-based scribe Richard Regen to write an untitled biopic about the life of New York Jets linebacker Bart Scott. The hope is to generate an inspiring film in the vein of The Blind Side, focusing on Scott's survival of a childhood spent in a violent neighborhood of Detroit, to become one of the best linebackers in the game. The project came to Shaye and Lynne through New York City journalist/author Gay Talese, who worked with Regen to develop the story of Scott and how he was raised by a single mother. Regen previously scripted Tehran, a script that made the Black List before being optioned by Imagine's Brian Grazer. He also wrote Chasing the Dragon, a memoir about the Chinese Civil War for Universal and Tribeca's Jane Rosenthal and Robert De Niro. Shaye and Lynne, the former New Line chiefs who have a deal at Warner Bros, will produce the Scott pic. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Maxman Posted December 25, 2010 Share Posted December 25, 2010 Look at these comments from that board: I’m familiar with Scott’s personal story. And given Hollywoo’ds track record a film like this will Never going to get made. There’s no white saintly mentor/friend/benefactor for the black person to magnify the innate goodness of. Brian’s Song, Jerry Maguire, The Blind Side. Perhaps they will fabricate one like they did for Radio? The problem with Hollywood in a nutshell: Sincere storytelling has given way to maudlin repetition. I am not even sure Bart’s story would make the cover of Sports Illustrated, much less a major motion picture. Here’s a short list of NFL films I WOULD rather see before Bart’s Blind Side-ish tale: * The story about Esera Tuaolo, an impoverished Samoan immigrant who went to Oregon State on a football scholarship, got drafted by Green Bay and became one of the first openly gay players in the history of the NFL. (A similar story could be done on the life of former NFL player David Kopay) Think of this film as “Milk” meets “Any Given Sunday.” * A Pat Tillman biopic. The documentary of the Arizona Cardinal who give up the NFL to fight in Afghanistan for the military is riveting. A major motion picture could be just as powerful and has the dramatic arcs for Oscar worthy performances by actors playing his parents, Mr. Tillman and the men in his military unit who conspired to hide the truth that he was a victim of ‘friendly fire’ so the US government could use his death as a recruiting and propagandist tool. * The story of Warrick Dunn, the former NFL running back for the Atlanta Falcons and Tampa Bay Buccaneers. Dunn’s mother was an off-duty cop who was escorting a businesswoman to make a night deposit at the bank when she was ambushed and killed by armed thugs. Two of the men are currently on Death Row. After his mom’ murder, Dunn, who had just turned 18, became the head of his family and raised his siblings, all the while going to Florida State, earning his bachelor’s degree, getting his number retired for stellar play on the gridiron in college and, then, going pro. Today he is known for his foundation to help homeless and indigent women get a home. In 2007 he went to the Louisiana State Penitentiary and met one of his mom’s killers. I think any of the above three has better major motion picture “legs” than Bart’s story. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

How he bought new bleachers for his HS team's field after crackheads stole the aluminum ones. I also like how he put the whole Rex and his wife thing in perspective. That's a thread that I wish would just go away here on JN, but I doubt it will-unless it gets locked. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
