Director McG and actor Matthew McConaughey are teaming up for Warner Bros. Pictures
untitled Marshall College football project, says the Hollywood Reporter.
The feature is based on an event that occurred in the 1970s, when members of the West Virginia-based Marshall College football team -- along with most of its coaching staff, sports commentators and many of its local boosters -- were killed in a plane crash.
Struggling through the loss, a determined coach named Jack Lengyel (McConaughey) and a small group of surviving players try to rebuild the team.
