I guess Tim Tebow's commercial appearance on last weekend's Focus on the Family pro-life spot during the Super Bowl has infected the former Florida Qb (currently looking at the prospect of being drafted by the NFL come April) with the acting bug.
Word is, from The Hollywood Cog, that Tim Tebow is currently attached to star in Five Hour Drive Home, something of a remake of the 1977 television movie, Something for Joey. Both movies were based on the true story of Penn State running back, John Cappelletti, and his relationship with his younger brother, Joey, who had leukemia. Inspired by Joey's illness, John Cappelletti won the Heisman Trophy in 1973. "Their bond knows no boundries and goes beyond making touchdowns and winning awards."
The movie comes from an obscure production company, Corner in the Sky productions, and is being produced by Kenny Griswold, who also produced a 1989 documentary, Champions Forever, about five boxers,...

A father's expectations. A son's dream. A brother's rivalry.
Runt of the Litter is the acclaimed, semi-autobiographical one-man show (soon to be a major motion picture) chronicles volatile family dynamics as well as triumph despite great odds. Always considered too small to play football, former Houston Oiler Bo Eason developed-then never deviated from-a 20-year-plan to go pro. But his plan didn't include a more talented older brother whose success would forever eclipse his own.
Written and performed by Bo Eason and directed by Larry Moss, Runt of the Litter opens in the final hour of Jack Henry's lifelong dream, with only one thing that stands in his way: his brother. The play closely examines what happens to two brothers in a family of overachievers: when their parents assure their oldest son that he is the one destined for football superstardom, and they tell their youngest son he is too small to compete.
