The Nats’ Bullpen Gets Some Glamour<\/b><\/a> – Nationals Journal<\/span>, The Post<\/i>
Now pitching for the Nats: Owen Wilson? <\/b><\/a> – Chatter<\/span>, The Wash. Times<\/i>
The Nationals were visited by producer James Hell<\/strike> L. Brooks<\/span> last night. He is making a movie in which the protagonist, played by Owen Wilson<\/span>*, is a relief pitcher for the Washington Nationals. What, we can’t get Matthew McConaughey<\/span> for this one? Shockingly, this is not a horror film<\/span>. Here is what firstshowing.net had to say about the film<\/span><\/a>:<\/p>\n

After a handful of rumors regarding James L. Brooks’ latest film, we finally have some confirmed details. Brooks is directing a project tentatively titled How Do You Know?<\/span> for Columbia Pictures. Owen Wilson and Paul Rudd<\/span> are in talks to star opposite Reese Witherspoon<\/span> in what is being called a romantic comedy with a love triangle. Rudd would play a white-collar executive vying for Witherspoon’s affections, while Wilson would play a professional baseball pitcher who is also a love interest. Brooks last directed Spanglish in 2004 as well as As Good as It Gets, Broadcast News, and Terms of Endearment before that.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Sounds amazing, I’m sure it will sweep the Oscars. Clearly, Hollywood is capitalizing on a fanbase that simply cannot get enough Nats. You have to figure the low-end box office for this picture is going to be $200 million.<\/p>\n

I just told my wife about this project and she said “dear God.”<\/p>\n

The big question about this is can Wilson pitch the seventh inning.<\/p>\n
