Kyra Sedgwick joins “The Game Plan”
Kyra ‘Mrs Bacon’ Sedgwick will star opposite Dwayne “The Rock” Johnson in Walt Disney Pictures’ family football – yep, he’s doing another footy flick – comedy “The Game Plan”, says The Hollywood Reporter.
The movie’s start of production was postponed after Johnson suffered a ruptured Achilles tendon in June. Production is now slated to start Sept. 24 in Boston. Mark Ciardi and Gordon Gray, whose football movie “Invincible” has proved to be a winner at the boxoffice, are producing. Andy Fickman directs.
The film, written by Nichole Millard and Kathryn Price, centers on a football player who learns that he has a daughter and follows his journey to become a father. Sedgwick, who was nominated for an Emmy and a Golden Globe for her work on TNT’s drama “The Closer,” will play Johnson’s ruthless, over-the-top sports agent who doesn’t care about the daughter.
