Movie to chronicle New England Patriots’ Super Bowl comeback — but who will play Tom Brady?

Are we really surprised that Tom Brady’s epic Super Bowl LI performance is being turned into a feature film? Of course not — the New England Patriots’ 34-28 win over the Atlanta Falcons was tailor-made for a classic Hollywood comeback flick.

What we’d like to know is who will be cast to portray Brady — star quarterback and, some argue, football’s G.O.A.T.

Deadline reports that a book and movie chronicling the Patriots’ win and centered on Brady, 39, is being written by Paul Tamasy and Eric Johnson (both behind The Finest Hours and Patriots Day) with author Casey Sherman and journalist Dave Wedge.
