It was four years ago that film director Peter Berg suggested the possibility of a movie for the NBC Friday Night Lights was dead, but do Panthers ever say die?
Per Variety, Universal is “reimagining” Friday Night Lights with a new film that has nothing to do with the 2004 Billy Bob Thornton film or the beloved 2006 NBC series that ran for five seasons.
Friday Night Lights is finally returning to the big screen, but perhaps not how you hoped – new Halloween director David Gordon Green has signed on to direct an entirely new movie iteration of the high school football drama.
Either version was based on H.G. Bissinger’s non-fiction book about the 1988 Permian High School Panthers.
