Whatever happens when Tim Tebow arrives at the training camp of his new NFL team, the New England Patriots, he's going to have a couple of Boston-area-bred actors in his camp.
Via his Twitter account on June 10, Dorchester, Mass., native Donnie Wahlberg writes, "Tim Tebow to the @patriots is awesome! A real coach & Qb, like Belichick & Brady, know the one way to make Tebow a weapon ... #ThePatriotWay!"
Wahlberg isn't alone in his enthusiasm.
Born in Lowell, Mass., Michael Chiklis -- seen last season on the CBS series "Vegas" -- is a dedicated sports fan, especially of baseball's Boston Red Sox and, of course, pro football's Patriots.
Contacted by Zap2it via Facebook, Chiklis -- who calls Patriots Qb Tom Brady a "friend" -- says he's very excited at the Tebow news.
He tells us, "Coach [Bill] Belichick is a genius at picking up largely overlooked and underestimated players and plugging them »

Legendary Entertainment has mostly co-produced pics with Warner Bros. But the Jackie Robinson biopic 42 marked their first solo effort, and it paid off big, raking in $93 million domestic. So, THR reports, Legendary is eager to produce another baseball-centered drama. This time around their source material is One Shot at Forever: A Small Town, an Unlikely Coach and a Magical Baseball Season, which was penned by senior Sports Illustrated writer Chris Ballard. Legendary has buzzed about screenwriter Wes Jones on board to adapt the book, and Mike Tollin, who has had a hand in creating Varsity Blues, Coach Carter and Hank Aaron: Chasing the Dream, will produce. The movie adaptation will be a mix of The Bad News Bears, Hoosiers and Remember the Titans, offering a story of a ragtag team who rises to the challenge of competition thanks to an unconventional coach.

Following on from their success with Jackie Robinson biopic "42," Legendary Entertainment has picked up the film rights to Chris Ballard's baseball book "One Shot at Forever".
The story is set in 1971 and tells of a drought-ridden small Illinois town where a hippie English teacher reluctantly took on coaching duties for the high school baseball team.
Bucking conventions, the team, sporting long hair and warming up to Jesus Christ Superstar, ended up making the state finals where they played an established Chicago team.
The tone is said to be akin to a mix of "Bad News Bears," "Remember the Titans" and "Hoosiers". Wes Jones ("College Republicans") will adapt the script while Mike Tollin ("Coach Carter," "Varsity Blues") will produce.

On the heels of their success with the Jackie Robinson biopic 42, Legendary Entertainment has picked up the baseball-themed project entitled One Shot at Forever, which is based on a true story.
Wes Jones has been tapped to write the adapted screenplay, based on Chris Ballard's book One Shot at Forever: A Small Town, an Unlikely Coach and a Magical Baseball Season.
The story is set in a small Illinois town in 1971 and follows a hippie English teacher who reluctantly took on the school's baseball coaching vacancy. He transformed the team in more ways than one, with his players sporting long hair and warming up to Jesus Christ Superstar, as they moved up the high school ranks to square off with an established Chicago team in the state finals. The project is being compared to classic sports movies such as The Bad News Bears, Hoosiers, and Remember the Titans.

Jack the Ripper. Few names live in such infamy, and rightly so. The man was an absolute butcher who's never been 100% identified by all those who have pursued his gruesome case files. Now, decades later, he's back!
