We’ve certainly had no shortage of real-life Tom Brady during his 23 seasons in the NFL. But fictional Tom Brady — well, that’s something new. (With apologies to John Krasinski on “Saturday Night Live.”)
Soon, though, we’ll be able to add a fictionalized version of everybody’s favorite retired quarterback — along with some of his most notable Patriots contemporaries — to the Tom Brady zeitgeist. Deadline reports that Paul Tamasy and Eric Johnson, who wrote the Lowell-set 2010 film “The Fighter” starring Christian Bale and Mark Wahlberg, are currently working on a limited series called “The Patriot Way,” based on “12: The Inside Story of Tom Brady’s Fight for Redemption” by Casey Sherman and Dave Wedge.
