Patrick Goldstein<\/a> of the Los Angeles Times<\/i> reports that Warner Brothers is making a movie based on The Blind Side: Evolution of a Game<\/a><\/i>, a book by Michael Lewis about \u201cMichael Oher, a 6-foot-5, 350-pound African American teenager who is transformed from a homeless vagabond to a star football player, largely thanks to Leigh Anne Tuohy, a dynamic evangelical Christian who helps provide him with a surrogate family and a shot at success in life.\u201d While the bulk of Goldstein\u2019s column looks at Quinton Aaron, the 24-year-old, 6-foot-8 and 380-pound actor who has been hired to play Oher, Goldstein also mentions that Sandra Bullock is set to play Tuohy, and Tim McGraw will play Tuohy\u2019s husband Sean. It\u2019s anybody\u2019s guess how prominent the religious themes will be in the film itself, but for what it\u2019s worth, when Collin Hansen reviewed the book<\/a> for Christianity Today<\/i> two years ago, he called it \u201ca gripping tour through the world of college recruiting, professional football strategy, and the volatile mix of faith and sports\u201d \u2014 and the film is being written and directed by John Lee Hancock, who also directed the Dennis Quaid baseball movie The Rookie<\/a><\/i> (2002), so that<\/i> bodes well, at least.<\/p>\n<\/body><\/html>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
