NFL legend Tom Brady has just announced his retirement from soccer, but TB12 has returned to the field, all thanks to Hollywood.
The seven-time Super Bowl champion will be produced and featured in the new film "80 for Brady," led by equally impressive casts: Oscar nominee Lily Tomlin, Oscar winner Jane Fonda, Oscar winner Rita Moreno and Oscar winner Sally Field.

The film is inspired by the true story of 4 best friends and New England Patriots fans who travel to the Super Bowl Lee to watch their hero Tom Brady play and the chaotic events that take place in the country while they sail through the wilderness of their biggest sport.
Paramount Pictures has acquired the global rights to the project from Endeavour Content, which will work on the film alongside Brady's 199 Productions and Oscar winner Donna Gigliotti.
The film was directed by Kyle Marvin (the star of "WeCrashed" and co-writer and star of "The Climb"), who co-wrote the latest screenplay with Michael Covino, which is based on Emily Harpern and Sarah Haskins (a draft of "Booksmart"). Marvin and Covino will also work with Jeff Stott to perform production under the watch This Ready banner.
Endeavour Content negotiated the acquisition deal and developed the film with Brady and Gigliotti.
