Mystic Pizza

Best selling author John Grisham's (pictured) non-legal book "Playing For Pizza" is going to be made into a film according to The Hollywood Reporter

The story focuses on a past his prime NFL quarterback who gets a new lease on life after his agent lands him a deal to play for a semi-professional team in Parma, Italy. And in the process falls in love with the Italian culture.

A search for a writer to adapt the script is under way...

The premise is so out of phase from Grisham's usual work that if it were not already published-I would think it was a joke....

I'll be curious to see where this one goes and the talent behind the film...
