After starring in Bull Durham, Field of Dreams and more, Kevin Costner returning to the world of sports in Draft Day. Directed by Ivan Reitman, the Black List topper recently wrapped filming in Cleveland and ahead of any official stills or footage, the first featurette has arrived thanks to ESPN.
While it’s mostly a fluff piece, it does show some behind the scenes footage of our main players, including Costner, Jennifer Garner and Denis Leary. Oddly, the NFL film was originally centered on the Buffalo Bills, but after proper incentives were made to Lionsgate, it now centers on the Cleveland Browns, yet this featurette tricks us into thinking that was the intention in the first place.
The film will follows general manager of the Browns (Costner) as he desperately seeks out a number one draft pic to rescue his problem riddled team, butting heads with the team’s coach (Leary) along the way. With a cast also including Frank Langella and Veep‘s Timothy Simmons, check out the look below.
Draft Day is expected to land in theaters in 2014.
