Universal Pictures is developing an untitled biographical film about baseball legend Lou Gehrig, with Glen Powell set to star as Gehrig. The project reunites Powell with director Richard Linklater, who is attached to direct after the pair previously collaborated on “Everybody Wants Some!” and “Hit Man.” Multiple outlets report that Simon Rich is writing the screenplay. The film is described as focusing on Gehrig, including his legacy as a Hall of Fame player known for durability and long stretches of consecutive games, often cited in connection with his then-record streak of 2,130 straight appearances. Producer Lorne Michaels is also attached to the project. Coverage notes Michaels as a lifelong New York Yankees fan and producer behind the film. While the title and full plot details are not provided in the reported material, all sources agree on the core creative team and that the production is being developed at Universal.
