I’ll be attending an advance screening of the new football flick Leatherheads this week. The film opens April 4 and stars Academy Award winners George Clooney and Renée Zellweger, who match wits in a romantic comedy inspired by the stranger-than-fiction beginnings of America’s pro football league in 1925. Long before the days of jumbotrons, Astroturf and cheerleaders; multimillion-dollar paychecks and staggering endorsements; some men played football only for the love of the game. They were rough and crass. They were foul-mouthed and hardheaded. They were “leatherheads.”
In addition to the screening, I’ll be interviewing Trey Moore, who plays a Chicago reporter in the movie. The interview and review will post on August 4. And, I’ll have some promo items to giveaway to some lucky EMQB readers. In the meantime, here’s the official trailer. I’ll be posting more video clips throughout the week. Enjoy.
