Robert De Niro is reported to be in talks to portray former Los Angeles Dodgers manager Tommy Lasorda in an upcoming Hollywood project. The film is described as titled “Tommy & Me,” with reporting indicating De Niro would play Lasorda, a Hall of Fame figure known for his longtime leadership of the Dodgers.
Deadline reports that the movie is being developed by Skydance Sports, and that Reid Carolin is directing. The outlet frames the announcement as part of Skydance Sports’ broader slate of baseball-themed productions, noting that the company’s other films are already building attention ahead of release. The New York Post similarly says De Niro is expected to play Lasorda, citing Deadline in its reporting.
While both outlets align on the central casting report—De Niro in discussions to play Lasorda—details about production timing, casting of other roles, and plot specifics are not fully covered in the available excerpts.
