Due articoli con nuove notizie su Slide... Il film, che doveva essere la storia di un un padre con un passato travagliato che, cercando di fare ammenda per il poco tempo trascorso con il figlio allenando la squadra di baseball del bambino, sarà riscritto ed ora il personaggio principale, interpretato da Gerry, allenerà una squadra di calcio.
Non si capisce bene se il film sarà diretto da Muccino a meno, visto che l'articolo prima dice che girano voci che Muccino fosse interessato a dirigerlo, ma ci sono ancora problemi per quanto riguarda i tempi delle riprese e nessuna data è stata fissata, poi alla fine dice che il film uscirà nel 2012 e sarà diretto da Muccino.
Nel secondo articolo invece si dice che la trama è stata modificata e ora è incentrata sulla storia del padre che allena la squadra di calcio, quindi la sostanza non cambierebbe e cambierebbe solo lo sport... boh
Gerard Butler Circling SlideActor Gerard Butler is setting up a new film to star in produce Slide, a film that is getting a shift in focus from baseball to soccer, according to The Los Angeles Times.
The film, written by Robbie Fox, was originally titled Confessions of a Little League Coach, which centered on a father (Gerard Butler) with a troubled past who seeks to make up for lost time by coaching his son's Little League baseball team. He gets into hot water when the single mothers of his players take an interest in him. Now it's being reported that the film will be reworked and Butler's character will now be coaching a soccer team.
Butler was originally only on board as a producer and now it seems Butler will star in the film as well. Butler will produce the film alongside Kevin Misher and Surrogates director Jonathan Mostow. We reported way back in 2004 that Mostow would direct the film and now it seems that Mostow will only be on board as a producer
Gabriele Muccino is also reportedly interested in directing the film, although it was said scheduling issues still need to be worked out. No production schedule was given for the film.
Slide comes to theaters in 2012. The film is directed by Gabriele Muccino.
www.movieweb.com/news/NEte0ib8o1W4vyBut Slide has a bit of a history in development, since it started out as a baseball comedy called Confessions of a Little League Coach. The concept is being snipped and tweaked and will now focus on a troubled father with a bad reputation trying to get back into his son’s good graces by coaching his football team. Problem is, he’s also a charming rogue, who gets on rather too well with the soccer moms.
