Paramount Pictures has a history of success making comedy genre movies with female leads. ‘Success’ seems to be a common denominator when one talks about the production house and Brady, maybe thus their initiative to collaborate. The film becomes another such attempt with the latest script based on a draft by Emily Halpern and Sarah Haskins.
The duo is famous for co-writing the coming of age movie Booksmart. Director Marvin will be hoping to recapture that success with 80 for Brady.
Tom Brady has his fingerprints all over this project
The former Buccaneers and Patriots QB was all in with the inception of this project during its development with producer Donna Gigliotti and Endeavor Content. Brady will produce the film through his production company, 199 Productions.
He will team up with Gigliotti, who counts Hidden Figures, Silver Linings Playbook, and Shakespeare in Love among her credits, together with Endeavor Content.
