I’ve been curious about Leatherheads since I first heard word about it earlier this year. I’ll give anything with George Clooney the benefit of the doubt (even though he’s had a couple of real stinkers), and with his massive popularity on The Office it’ll be interesting to see if John Krasinski can make a transition from television to the big screen.
“Dodge Connolly (George Clooney) is an aging football hero whose team faces certain collapse after losing their sponsor. Carter Rutherford (John Krasinski) is a WW1-veteran with a great talent in football and a long history of deeds, a history that is held suspect by Lexie Littleton (Renée Zellweger), a cub journalist who is sniffing holes in Rutherford’s story.”
I’ve got to say I really like this Leatherheads trailer. It’s got a perfect 50’s Hollywood feel to it, and Clooney and Zellweger seem to totally nail it. Check it out and decide for yourself:
