  • Ivan Reitman has an NFL Draft themed film in the works

    The Buffalo Bills are getting a movie from the comedy director...

    June 26, 2012

    Every year, I engage in one of the strangest traditions a sports fan can take part in. I spend 3 full days watching the NFL draft. Hours upon hours of coverage on college athletes who are more likely to disappoint than succeed on the pro level, and for some reason I can never get enough. It’s never really been the focus of a movie though (short of a few scenes in ‘Jerry Maguire’), to my sadness. Well, Deadline is reporting here that Ivan Reitman is going to change that, taking on a football comedy spec script called ‘Draft Day’. After the jump you can see what it’s about (but think the aforementioned ‘Jerry Maguire’ meets ‘Moneyball’), but it sounds like a fun little flick to me…


    Here’s the plot summation:

    Draft Day, a comic script by Rajiv Joseph and Scott Rothman that has Ivan Reitman attached to direct…the script revolves around the general manager of the Buffalo Bills as he spends the day of the National Football League draft frantically trying to get the number one pick for his struggling team.

    About Joey Magidson


    When he’s not obsessing over new Oscar predictions on a weekly basis, Joey is seeing between 200 and 300 movies a year. He views the best in order to properly analyze the awards race/season each year, but he also watches the worst for reasons he mostly sums up as "so you all don't have to". In his spare time, you can usually find him complaining about the Jets or the Mets. Still, he lives and dies by film. Joey's a voting member of the Internet Film Critics Association as well. Today the IFCA, tomorrow the world!
