Just when you thought you had seen every football movie, someone decided to add time travel into the mix! No, it won’t be via a Delorean, or a blue telephone booth. But it could be a magic football!
TOUCHBACK follows Brian Presley as Scott Murphy, an injured player who is given a chance to go back and relive his greatest game. A game that caused him a near-crippling injury, and left him with a bad leg.
Presley travels back to 1991, and gets to relive the moments surrounding that game with his coach, played by Kurt Russell. With a chance to relive the past, will Scott find a way to change his future?
The trailer’s strengths are Kurt Russell’s coaching, and the football action. Hopefully the film will use the time travel aspect to put a unique spin on a well-worn story that we have seen many times across the sports genre.
The film stars costars Marc Blucas, and Christine Lahti, and opens in limited release on April 13th, 2012.
