The Jackie Robinson story is coming to the big screen. Robert Redford
is going to produce and co-star in a movie about the famous baseball
player who broke the game's color barrier in 1947. Redford is going to
play Brooklyn Dodgers Manager Branch Rickey. There's no word yet on
who will play Robinson.

On a local morning show here in Birmingham, it was said that the same people who produced "Ray" are producing the Jackie Robinson story and that they want Jamie Foxx to play the lead. I hope that Jamie doesn't forget his comedic roots and ends up getting type-cast in bio-pics or dramas all the time.
