Big news today about a Tom Brady movie. Jane Fonda and Lily Tomlin, of “Grace and Frankie” fame, are toplining the comedy about four friends who are huge Brady fans and go on a road trip to see him.
Brady will play himself in the movie and be a producer on the film. “80 for Brady” will be directed by Kyle Marvin, who also co-wrote the script with Michael Covino. DOnna Gigliotti, of “Silver Linings Playbook” and “Shakespeare in Love,” is the producer along with Brady and Endeavor Content.
Added to the cast are Sally Field and Rita Morena. Yes, 90 year old Rita Moreno, of “West Side Story” fame, is in this movie. She’s hot as a pistol.
Field is old friends with Fonda. She’s perfect in this quad of pals.
But here’s a little exclusive: I’m told that the original quad started with Fonda, Tomlin, plus Carol Burnett and Julie Andrews. In the fall, this looked like the cast. But in the history of deals in Hollywood, changes happen all the time. It would have been nice to see Burnett and Andrews, who themselves are old pals. But Field and Moreno are A list.
So here we go with Tom Brady, movie producer and part time movie producer.
