The project, to be helmed by Peter Bogdanovich, chronicles Rose's gambling-related downfall in the 1980s as documented in Major League Baseball's Dowd Report. "Tom Sizemore's ability to play gritty, conflicted characters is his hallmark," said Mark Shapiro, ESPN executive vp programming and production. "Only someone with his hefty credentials and proven talents can accurately portray someone as complex as Rose." Christian Darren penned the script for the movie, which Orly Adelson is executive producing. Filming is scheduled to begin May 14 in Toronto for a Sept. 25 premiere. Sizemore's feature credits include Saving Private Ryan, Pearl Harbor and Black Hawk Down. He next appears seen in Paparazzi.
