On the film side, you’ll have the writing team of Paul Tamasy and Eric Johnson, who wrote the screenplay for The Finest Hours and also received story credits for Patriot’s Day.
Casey Sherman, who wrote the book that The Finest Hours was based on will be writing the book with help from Boston journalist Dave Wedge.
The two collaborated previously on Boston Strong, which was itself part of the inspiration for Patriot’s Day, and were apparently both in attendance to watch the game’s historic outcome.
To help bring the story to both the page and the screen a team of writers is being brought in who have worked on similar projects before.
