Harrison Ford Offered The Role of Branch Rickey


Posted December 9, 2011 by nicksimons

It's really a powerful dream for some young boys to become a grown-up who ends up in the Baseball Hall of Fame.

 
I assume it really is a prominent dream for any small amount of old men, too. Needless to say, the tough truth is that not everybody can have what you choose to. So, many people who want to become legends in the great American pastime will not be able to accomplish this. But, if Harrison Ford hopes to, and then he can.

Harrison Ford has been offered the role of Branch Rickey, the Brooklyn Dodgers' Hall of Famer manager, in the developing Jackie Robinson biopic 42, to be directed by Brian Helgeland (Payback, A Knight's Tale). Rickey made history by signing Robinson to be the first black player in the history of the Major League Baseball organization. 42 have been in development for quite some time. Since its inception, a few big names have been tossed around in concordance with the portrayal of Branch Rickey. Most recently, Jack Nicholson was suggested as a plausible cast member. But as it stands, the role is Ford's to take.

So will he take it? Only time will tell. We know that Ford has also been mentioned in regards to the developing Ender's Game adaptation. But we can affirm that we think he'd be a fine choice for the staunch, accomplished, deeply religious and greatly progressive Rickey.
