Football Did ya'll know they're finally making a Kurt Warner movie? - Page 7

**RealSNR** · 06-12-2021, 10:28 AM

What took so long? When he won the Super Bowl, were movie execs just like, "... no, this true story is TOO perfectly made for Hollywood. We shouldn't touch it." Well way to go, assholes. Nobody cares about Kurt Warner anymore, and people don't really want to watch heartwarming underdog sports movies these days. You'll lose money on this thing. ****ing morons.

Anyway, I guess it's in post-production now. Supposed to come out in December. No trailer yet.

Also, yes, that's right. Dennis Quaid as Dick Vermeil.

I'm not quite sure what to do with this information, but I just thought it was interesting that it took them this long to finally make this thing into a movie that was begging to be made into a movie 20 years ago. Too bad Warner got out-reffed in that Cardinals SB loss. Would have made the perfect ending to this film. Maybe they'll just tell the Kurt Warner story up until he wins the SB for the Rams and then end the movie there.

I think it's probably more that the Warners wanted the movie to have a lot of this in it:

You talking about the gay stuff, or the Jesus stuff?

A tragicomedy

Perhaps in the style of Scarface.

"Carlface"

Check out the :28 mark of that preview clip where Quaid says "Welcome to the Rams."

That's not a good Vermeil impression?

No. Quaid looks like he does too much coke in this trailer. Which, he probably does.

His energy and voice are all wrong for Vermeil.

He should be playing Gunther, not mild-mannered Dick Vermeil.

Greg Kinnear was perfect casting and never should have been changed. But the people who produced this movie probably just went with the only past-his-prime A-lister they could find.

Chiefspants · 07-08-2021, 05:41 PM

Quaid does a lot of these sort of Christian produced movies nowadays so he was probably an easy get.

That's a big red flag, particularly given that the Warners are the producers. I think I'll take a pass on this sermon...er, movie.

Covid has been a bitch on Hollywood, apparently. Zachary Levi was all HELL YEAH when offered a chance to play a QB in a half-ass movie that should have been made 10-15 years ago.

I smell a sleeper hit!

Bump · 07-08-2021, 06:52 PM

guaranteed the movie starts off with him bagging groceries with a grim look on his face and on his break he gets a phone call from Dick Vermeil and then takes off his apron and throws it at the manager.

I heard Kevin Sorbo was busy, so thankfully they got Quaid instead

Saw a couple still frames from the movie and it didn’t look good. I know that isn’t a good indicator of a quality movie but it looked low quality

Is the manager streaking down the store's sidelines? Because that would be cool.

But he throws a cantaloupe instead of an apron.

I thought Quaid was coaching Syracuse?
