My Movie Pitch

Suddenly, the subgenre of Football-meets-prison movies has emerged upon the hollywood scene. Don't know what I'm walking about? Here's some refreshers:



So, it's not hard to argue that this type of movie has been done. Think about it though, in both cases the inmates were criminals turned into football players. Who has done a feature about football players who get locked up for criminal activity? That's right. No one. Until now.


Picture this: You take every Cincinatti Bengal who has been arrested in the past two seasons, and put them all in the same correctional facility. And film it. It'll be like Inside the NFL meets Oz! You've got big names here; LB Odell Thurman, WR Chris Henry, and most recently, CB Johnathan 'Dude, Where's my Car?' Joseph. Think of all the subplots! Who will make the best shiv? Will there be a shower rape love triangle?


The best part of this is, not only will it provide for entertainment, but it will show that Coach Marvin Lewis is serious about discipline and teamwork. Discipline, buying bitches with cigarrettes, and teamwork.
