Tom Brady: The Movie? Fans Divided And Foes Say They'll Pass

A new book and a major motion picture are in the works about the New England Patriots' star quarterback and the "Deflategate" suspension he overcame to earn an unprecedented fifth Super Bowl ring. Sherman's novel, "The Finest Hours," about the Coast Guard's 1952 rescue of 30 crewmen aboard a sinking tanker off Cape Cod, also was made into a movie released by Walt Disney Pictures last year starring Chris Pine and Casey Affleck. Sherman is working with Academy Award-nominated screenwriters Paul Tamasy and Eric Johnson on the book and film about Brady "and his team's miraculous come-from-behind win" in the Super Bowl in February. After serving a four-game suspension for his role in the use of underinflated footballs during the 2015 playoffs, Brady returned to lead the Patriots to their fifth NFL championship with a stunning 34-28 comeback win in overtime against the Atlanta Falcons. Some fans like Melanie Hawes say Brady's season is a box office natural — even if "people either love the Patriots or hate them."
