One of the best things about 2013 has been the re-emergence of the great Kevin Costner after a number of years in the Hollywood wilderness. The excellent television drama series Hatfields & McCoys had a lot to do with that, while he tugged the heartstrings as Superman’s adopted father in Zack Snyder’s MAN OF STEEL. We can next look forward to seeing him in JACK RYAN: SHADOW RECRUIT, 3 DAYS TO KILL and DRAFT DAY.
The latter project, coming from Summit Entertainment, sees the return of director Ivan Reitman with a tense, yet amusing, sports drama taking place within the span of one day in the NFL diary. Our Kev plays a general manager looking to take the opportunity to save his Cleveland football team when he trades for the number one pick. Check out the first trailer and poster for the film also starring Jennifer Garner, Frank Langella, Denis Leary, Timothy Simons, and Ellen Burstyn.
On the day of the NFL Draft, general manager Sonny Weaver (Costner) has the opportunity to save football in Cleveland when he trades for the number one pick. He must quickly decide what he’s willing to sacrifice in pursuit of perfection as the lines between his personal and professional life become blurred on a life-changing day for a few hundred young men with dreams of playing in the NFL.
DRAFT DAY hits US cinemas 11th April 2014. No word on a UK release as yet.
