Movie about 'The Beer Man' Michael Lewis is in the works

Michael Lewis famously beat the odds when the former beer truck driver earned a tryout, and eventually a roster spot, with his hometown New Orleans Saints, where he proceeded to set records as a kick return specialist. Now, after conquering the NFL, the relentless Lewis is making a run at a new, equally lofty target: Hollywood.
Lewis, a fan favorite known among the Saints faithful as "The Beer Man," has signed a deal to develop his underdog story into a movie.
quote:
Local filmmaker and screenwriter David DuBos ("Delta Justice: The Isleños Trapper War") has been hired to write the film, with the hope of having the project ready to go before cameras as early as winter 2019, said Karl Bernard, Lewis' longtime attorney and agent.
"I think anybody who has any dream larger than themselves will be inspired by the Michael Lewis story," Bernard said late Tuesday afternoon (June 18) in confirming the deal. "He's an incredible individual, an incredible athlete, an American story come to life right before our eyes in the city of New Orleans."

I’ve met him a couple of times. A great and very humble guy.

When I watched this, all I was thinking is that the Beer Man would make such a better movie.

Anthony Mackie would be a solid choice.
Looks like him, can act, and is already a Saints fan.
