Artisan Entertainment is releasing the film. Directed by Howard Deutch and starring Keanu Reeves, the film follows a mismatched crew of outsiders who get a second chance at greatness when they are recruited to play pro football after the regular team goes on strike. Amazingly, the team goes on a winning streak and the ragtag group discovers in itself the ability to reach for a bigger dream. Favreau plays a young, psychotic L.A. cop with a penchant for danger, who is recruited to play linebacker on the team. The cast also includes Gene Hackman, Brooke Langton and Orlando Jones.
