Former NFL quarterback Tom Brady and his love for football now enter another dramatic stage while departing from his last. The 7-time Super Bowl champion is reported to be in the works of producing and acting in a Hollywood movie in his first foray into retirement life. The road trip-themed film titled 80 for Brady will star iconic actors like Lily Tomlin, Jane Fonda, Rita Moreno, and Sally Field. It will be part of a Paramount Pictures and Endeavour Content project.

The ambitious project will receive direction from Kyle Marvin, who co-wrote the script with Michael Covino. Director Marvin acted in the upcoming Apple limited series WeCrashed while co-writing and starring in the indie movie, The Climb. He will also be executive producing with Covino, under their Watch This Ready banner, with film producer Jeff Stott.

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.
