It's probably a bit of old news but I heard that Carmelo Anthony is producing a movie about Roberto Clemente. I really hope it comes to fruition, I'm sure they're going to do it properly.
Any mention of who they're going to cast in the lead?
Not yet. I was thinking they should go with an unknown. Who do you think they should pick?

I think they should go with an unknown also. This is waaay overdue to be made. There's been talk for years now about making a Clemente movie.
So true. But you know what, since they're doing it now, they have no excuse. If they're done properly this is a good time for biopics. I would have liked for it to be done a little earlier, for the obvious reasons but like I said I'm excited and I have a positive feeling about this. As it progresses, I'm going to try not to nitpick or obsess over exact looks, and other things but there are certain aspects that need to be right.

Also, they have a good amount of info about it over on espn website, I believe. I would link you but I can't at the moment. Just search "Carmelo Anthony Roberto Clemente" and it should get you there. They're supposed to be working closely with the family and it will be in theaters so I'm excited.

The look of the person is less important than the story being accurate and thorough.
Is there a target date for production?
True, that's why I said I would try not to nitpick.
