Patriots
Isaiah Washington has booked his first major feature film role since exiting "Grey's Anatomy" in June. Washington will star opposite Forest Whitaker in "Patriots," the Dimension's sports drama being directed by Tim Story.

"Patriots," based on a true story, is set in the aftermath of Hurricane Katrina, when Al Collins, a high school basketball coach in Marrero, La., assembled a team of players who previously attended five different schools and led them on the path to the state championships.
