Exclusive: Sports content studio Game1 and Seattle Seahawks quarterback Russell Wilson’s production label West2East Empire are developing Braddock, a movie based on Greg Nichols book Striking Gridiron about the 1959 Braddock High School football team.
At the time when Pennsylvania found itself in the throes of a crippling steel strike, the Braddock High team provided hope to a small downtrodden steel town with its remarkable play and dogged pursuit of the all-time national high school winning streak under Coach Chuck Klausing. Joshua Jackson will star in the movie as Klausing, with Kate Bosworth starring alongside as Klausing’s wife Joann. Gregory Caruso will direct and adapt.
Wilson launched West2East Empire to branch into film and television production, with Braddock being one of its first feature film efforts.
“As a professional athlete, I know the power that sports can have in the world beyond the playing field,” said Wilson,...

"Does your mother know you're going down there on a Friday night?"

And he has a great sense of humor, too? Swoon! Gregory Caruso, perhaps better known as “#HotDebateGuy,” caused a ruckus on social media during the Gop debate on Wednesday, Sept. 16, after his handsome mug got some serious screentime behind CNN debate moderator Jake Tapper. But the aspiring filmmaker isn’t letting the media attention go to his head — yet. “It’s pretty hilarious,” Caruso, 24, told CNN of the Internet’s instant reaction. “Social media can focus on some guy at the debate instead of the debate.” Caruso told the [...]...
