Stephan James, star of acclaimed films Selma, Race, and If Beale Street Could Talk, is set to star alongside Oscar-winner J.K. Simmons (Juno, Whiplash, Spider-Man) in the upcoming college football drama National Champions.
In the film, “James will play a star quarterback who ignites a players’ strike hours before the biggest game of the year in order to fight for fair compensation, equality, and respect for the athletes who put their bodies and health on the line for their schools.”
National Champions will be directed by Angel Has Fallen and Greenland filmmaker Ric Roman Waugh and is being produced through John Wick producer Basil Iwanyk’s Thunder Road and his sports-themed label game1.
The film is set to shoot in New Orleans next month.
