BUFFALO, N.Y. (WIVB) - The Buffalo Bills may get Hollywood attention, if a proposed movie hits the big screen.
According to New York Magazine , the NFL may allow the Bills' and NFL likenesses to be used in an upcoming film from Paramount Pictures and may even invest in the film. Kevin Coster is reported to star in the film as a fictional general manager of the Bills.
The movie, reportedly titled "Draft Day" and which would be directed by Ivan Reitman, would detail the GM's struggles with an out-spent and last-place team during the draft.
>> Buffalo made its way into a Keanu Reeves film. He shot a part of Henry's Crime in the Queen City.
The NFL rarely allows it's likenesses to be used in movies or television shows so this is a departure for the leaque's usual business practices.
While not confirmed yes, sources tell New York Magazine that talks between producers and the NFL are positive.
