Paramount has picked up a sci-fi action comedy pitch from Mortal Media, the banner of the NBA's Blake Griffin and the NFL's Ryan Kalil. ..... Plot details are being kept under wraps, but the project is shaping up to be the first original feature being developed by the shingle. Mortal is developing a reboot of Disney's The Rocketeer (1991) that will be headlined by a black female character and a White Men Can't Jump remake from Black-ish creator Kenya Barris at Fox.

White Men Can’t Jump is getting back into the game.

The Rocketeer is ready to blast off once again. ..... The project, in the early development stages, is considered a sequel-reboot and, in a modern-day twist, will be headlined by a black female character. ..... Brigham Taylor, who produced The Jungle Book with Jon Favreau, is producing along with Blake Griffin of the NBA's Los Angeles Clippers and Ryan Kalil of the NFL's Carolina Panthers. Griffin and Kalil are partners in a new venture called Mortal Media and approached Taylor with the idea for the reboot.

Ryan's production company, Mortal Media, continues to pick up steam, working with some pretty big names in Hollywood. I wish him well with the venture .......... next year. Concentrate on Panthers football this year, Ryan!!

I'm sure he'll be 100% focused on football. Being a producer isn't that much work. A lot of it is approving financing and high-level, joint decision-making. It's one of the reasons Harvey Weinstein had so much time to rape so many women...

We should have made the smart business move and sped up the process for his ass. 

couldve saved quite a few million just by cutting him alone. 

But then again we did nothing to upgrade our oline in the offseason and you saw what happened to the line last season when Ryan went was out..yikes.

lol

I get where you in particular are coming from, but come on, do you really think Ryan Kalil is doing any of the heavy lifting? Do you think that half of the 'producers' in the movie industry today are doing what you've had to do since you're basically your own production company?

    • I just tried a few mock draft simulators and this is the only way lol. Nothing else makes sense. 
    • No, biggest weakness is pass rush, but I don't think there is a blue chip can't miss DE prospect to take at #1 this year, same as with QB.  But beyond that, moving forward, yea WR is a pretty damn big weakness. We have 1 game this season over 224 yards passing and just traded away our best WR (who wasn't going to re-sign here anyways).  That WR no longer on the team was also the only player we've had this year who had over 78 yards receiving in a game.  So again, yea, WR is one of our biggest weaknesses even right now, let alone moving into the future. As I just said in my other post, I love Legette, but he's not going to be a Top 5-10 WR type of guy, Top 15-20 I can see, I think he can be a good #1 WR or an elite #2. After that, what do we have for the future?  Thielen isn't part of it, sure as hell isn't going to be Mingo, and as much as we all like Coker, in no world is Coker as our #2 to Legette as the #1 going be considered as "having weapons" at WR, even with Brooks and Sanders. But put someone like T-Mac into that group, who I genuinely think is going to be a Top 5 WR in this league for a long time, and it changes things.  A Top 5 WR with Legette/Coker as the 2/3, along with Brooks and Sanders, has the potential to be one of the best set of offensive weapons in the league if they reach their potential.  
    • At this range currently he’s probably a day 3 pick, but I think he will rise to day 2.
