PATRIOTS casting news
"Patriots" marks a reteam for Whitaker, TWC and screenwriter Robert Eisele, who wrote "The Great Debaters" and also scripted "Patriots." The hope is to release "Patriots" around Thanksgiving, replicating the release strategy used on the Denzel Washington-directed "The Great Debaters." "Patriots" will be produced by IAM Entertainment's Raymond Brothers and Scott Glassgold, along with Story. Brothers, an attorney who worked for Mike Ovitz's sports division of AMG before starting his own firm, optioned the coach's life rights. He, Story and Eisele developed the script together. "I've gotten caught up with the 'Fantastic Four' films but wanted to find a smaller film with heart, that brought me back to 'Barbershop,' and this has come together with one of the best actors out there," Story said. "What Coach Collins did to give back the lives of his players is so inspiring."
