Happy to hear the news that Luckiest Man: The Life and Death of Lou Gehrig
, by Jonathan Eig, will be turned into a feature movie.
From the New York Post of July 17:
George Steinbrenner’s grandson, Robert Molloy, will be part of a program Friday on the grounds of the former Yankee Stadium.
Molloy is involved as part of a feature film about Lou Gehrig’s life based on the book, “Luckiest Man: The Life and Death of Lou Gehrig.”
“As a kid, I used to stare in awe at Lou Gehrig’s photos in Yankee Stadium,” Molloy said in a release. “Today, I am honored at the chance to contribute to the telling of Gehrig’s story.’’
No IMDB page yet, as the project is “in development.”
I ran a piece when the cast of 42, the Jackie Robinson biopic, was announced. I look forward to doing that again soon for the Gehrig project.
