Jake Gyllenhaal has been confirmed to be playing Joe Namath in an upcoming movie. Currently the writing of the film is being held up by the writer’s strike, but David Hollander is set to do the script post strike. The following is from the Variety story:

“While other quarterbacks racked up bigger lifetime stats, Namath became the first football player to achieve rock-star status. The pic will tell the story of how the golden-armed kid from Beaver Falls, Pa., became Broadway Joe, the New York Jets quarterback who became a ’60s cultural figure.”
