Josh Hartnett and Sam Rockwell are set to star in "
End Zone," a George Ratliff-directed adaptation of the Don DeLillo novel.
Hartnett will play a gifted running back who is fumbling his attempts to acclimate to stardom. Dennings plays a student who captivates the jock. Rockwell plays the school's excitable publicist. Yet to be cast is a teacher of international terrorism and mass destruction who sees the running back as the perfect soldier/student.
