Howard Bryant's book "The Last Hero: A Life of Henry Aaron"will be adapted by Adam Mazer from a notion that he and Levinson developed.
The story will focus on the period of 1972 to 1974, when Aaron chased then shattered a sacrosanct record held for decades by Ruth, who hit 714 home runs during his career. Aaron and his supporters faced death threats and hate mail because some fans didn’t want a black man to break Ruth’s record.
Aaron will serve as a consultant on the film.
Mike Tollin and Glenn Rigberg are producing the film
