HUNTINGTON, W.Va. -- Warner Bros. confirmed Monday it will release a movie about the events of and following the 1970 plane crash that claimed the lives of 75 Marshall University supporters, including the football team. The film, yet to be officially titled, will be shot on the university campus. "There has been a rumor going around that there would be a movie produced concerning Marshall University," Dr. Keith Spears, vice president for communications and marketing, said. "Warner Bros. has contacted the university and has confirmed to us that they are going to produce a movie -- a major motion picture -- about the 1970 football plane crash and the resurgence of football here at this institution." Matthew McConaughey, who starred in "A Time to Kill" and "Sahara," will portray Jack Lengyel, the Herd's coach in the years following the crash. Some of the film will be shot on campus during Spring Break. McG, who directed "Firewall" and "Charlie's Angels", will direct the film. The producer, Basil Iwanyk, worked with McG in "Firewall." Mary Viola, associate producer, has worked on various projects, notably "Pirates of the Caribbean." Jamie Linden, a 28-year-old writer, authored the screenplay. Spears was initially concerned because the crew is a young one. "But I realized, this is a young person's story," he said. "Young people would understand this story because it is about people their age." Other actors are yet to be named and Spears said opportunities exist for students to work as extras and assistants.
