Imagine chairman Brian Grazer has hired Peter Berg to direct Friday Night Lights, based on H.G. Bissinger's 1990 high school football chronicle. Berg is rewriting the script draft by David Aaron Cohen and filming will start this fall at Universal.
Production will start in time to shoot footage from the upcoming season of the Panthers, the high school team from Odessa, Texas, around which the bestseller revolved.
Bissinger's book detailed the entire 1985 season of the Panthers, capturing the frenzy of a small town that reveres its school team and its Friday night weekly game.
