With a lid finally being placed on quarterback Kurt Warner's NFL career, the likely Hall of Famer could see his life story turned into a film.
Bernie Miklasz of the St. Louis Post-Dispatch recently reported that Warner has been approached by a producer regarding the possibility.
And it makes sense. The success of The Blind Side will cause similar real-life football stories to receive consideration for silver-screen treatment, and Warner's rags-to-riches-to-rags-to-riches roller-coaster ride would fit nicely with the formula that we often see in such efforts.
Miklasz also made some partially tongue-in-cheek predictions as to possible casting decisions, so allow us to do the same.
Pre-2000 Warner would be played by Ashton Kutcher, if he's willing to gain like 40 pounds. Late-career Warner would be played by Jack Nicholson.
Late-career Brenda Warner would be played by Kate Hudson. Pre-2000 Brenda Warner would be played by Meryl Streep.
Dick Vermeil would play himself, given his Oscar-level ability to cry on cue. Marty Feldman would play Mike Martz.
Oh, wait. Marty Feldman is dead. Well, they could just use some old footage from Young Frankenstein.

Change the thread title. I thought his life was in danger
