Aaron Rodgers, Olivia Munn News: The Couple May Star In A Green Bay-Based Romantic Comedy [VIDEO]
Ryan Churchill is making a Green Bay-based movie and if he has it his way, Packers star Aaron Rodgers and his girlfriend Olivia Munn will be on the roster for the movie.
Olivia Munn Had No Idea Who Aaron Rodgers Was When They Met?
Green Bay Press Gazette reported on Saturday that the famous couple may find themselves on the big screen for the upcoming film The Sixty Yard Line.
Co-writer and executive producer Ryan Churchill, as well as his writing partner Nick Greco, are hoping the two will join their team of actors.
Filming for the movie is scheduled for June, and Packers fullback Kuhn and former offensive tackle Tauscher have already signed on for the film. Apparently, it may be hard for them to get Rodgers to join them, but there's a part designed just for him waiting.
"We wrote one little scene for him not to play himself,'' Churchill said. "I'm not giving it away, but it's a really funny scene with him."
The film was reportedly inspired by the Ashwaubenon house at the corner of Stadium Drive and Oneida Street. It's supposed to be the setting for the story about a guy and his favorite sports team, the Green Bay Packers.
"It really is a sports fan movie," Churchill said. "It's kind of the age-old tale of the guy and his team, whether it be the Vikings or Bears or Lions or Red Sox, it's a guy and his team that comes between him and his girl."
On the top of their list for their female lead is Rodgers girlfriend Olivia Munn. The team of writers apparently had her in mind for the role based on indie comedies she has done, as well as for her work on The Newsroom.
"There's a pretty big list of people who we are targeting, but those two, Oliva Munn as the female lead and Justin Timberlake, are definitely at the top of our wish list. That is kind of the independent film strategy: Start at the tippie-top and then you work your way down from there."
