Million Dollar Arm
Jon Hamm is back on the big screen this summer as he leads the cast in Million Dollar Arm.
Million Dollar Arm is one of the Disney projects to watch out for this summer, as director Craig Gillespie tells their real-life story.
Hamm takes on the central role of American sports agent J.B. Bernstein, as he teams up with Gillespie for the first time.
Gillespie has brought us films such as Mr Woodcock and Lars and the Real Girl, and this is his first film since Fright Night.
Lake Bell, Alan Arkin, Bill Paxton, and Suraj Sharma join Hamm on the cast list.
With business failing, struggling US sports agent JB Bernstein (Hamm) travels to India in a last ditch effort to save his career by finding a young cricketer to turn into a major sports star.
With the help of a cantankerous retired talent scout (Arkin) JB sets up a national contest called "The Million Dollar Arm" and discovers Rinku (Sharma) and Dinesh (Madhur Mittal), two 18-year-old boys who have a knack for throwing a fastball.
Hoping to make a quick buck he brings them to LA to train, however the boys, who have never left their rural villages before, struggle as they try to adjust to their new life and cope with the pressure being heaped on them.
His livelihood on the line and relationship with the boys at stake, with the help of his friend Brenda (Bell) JB realises that family and friendships are more important than sealing the deal.
Million Dollar Arm is released 29th August.
