J. Mills Goodloe is adapting John Grisham's high school football novel Bleachers for Revolution Studios. The film (http://www.comingsoon.net/news/topnews.php?id=9431#) will be directed by helmer Don Burgess.

The film is about a high school football hero (http://www.comingsoon.net/news/topnews.php?id=9431#) returning to his small-town Southern home to join a vigil for a dying coach, who was both loved and feared by his players.

Goodloe wrote and will direct August and Everything After..., which is set up at Bob Yari's Yari Films (http://www.comingsoon.net/news/topnews.php?id=9431#).

Revolution previously adapted Grisham's novel "Skipping Christmas" into Christmas With the Kranks, starring Tim Allen (http://www.comingsoon.net/news/topnews.php?id=9431#) and Jamie Lee Curtis (http://www.comingsoon.net/news/topnews.php?id=9431#).
