Benjamin would play another player on the fictional 1970s ABA team, the Flint Tropics. Ferrell’s character is a former benchwarmer who returns to buy the team so he can finally play on a winner. Kent Alterman is directing from a script by Scot Armstrong (OLD SCHOOL, STARSKY AND HUTCH). The film will be Ferrell’s next project and will begin production early next year. Benjamin was recently seen (or not-seen) in the crtiical and commercial disappointment IDLEWILD.
