Aaron Rodgers and girlfriend Olivia Munn might star in a Green Bay-based flick that is going to be co-written and produced by Ryan Churchill, as reported by the Green Bay Press Gazette. Churchill's writing partner, Nick Greco, is also looking forward to the Packers star being part of the cast for "The Sixty Yard Line."
Former offensive tackle Tauscher and Packers fullback Kuhn have both already signed on for the upcoming movie. It would appear that the movie makers are having a bit of trouble getting Rodgers to say "yes" to their movie pitch. However, in case he suddenly wants in, they have prepared a part that they specifically designed for him.
"We wrote one little scene for him not to play himself," said Churchill. "I'm not giving it away, but it's a rally funny scene with him."
"The Sixty Yard Line" was reportedly inspired by the Ashwaubenon house, which can be found at the corner of Oneida Street and Stadium Drive. The plot is about a man and his favorite sports team, which is of course, the Green Bay Packers.
"It really is a sports fan movie," Churchill revealed. "It's kind of the age-old tale of the guy and his team, whether it be the Vikings or Bears or Lions or Red Sox. It's a guy and his team that comes between him and his girl."
This is where Aaron Rodgers girlfriend steps in. They want Munn for the part because of the performance she delivered in indie comedies, as well as in "The Newsroom."
"There's a pretty big list of people whom we are targeting. But, those two, Olivia Munn as the female lead and Justin Timberlake, are definitely at the top of our wish list," said the movie makers. "That is kind of the independent film strategy: Start at the tippy-top and then you work your way down from there."
