"Just what we need - a guy in an apron." Quiver Distribution has revealed an official trailer for a movie called Warrior Strong, about a basketball coach taking on a job back home in a small town. This will be opening at the end of September if anyone is interested in watching an inspirational sports flick. The story is about Bilal Irving, played by Jordan Johnson-Hinds, a pro player who returns to his Northern Ontario hometown of Dumont (in Canada). He re-connects with his former coach, and conflict ensues as they both struggle to put their egos and complicated pasts aside to mentor the town’s only basketball team. The cast includes Andrew Dice Clay, Sarah Podemski, Stephen Kalyn, Julian Young, Macaulee Cassaday. This actually kinda looks like a Mighty Ducks remake, with basketball instead of hockey. Could be good fun. // Continue Reading ›...

Exclusive: Sarah Podemski (Reservation Dogs) and Rosa Blasi (The Thundermans) have signed on to star alongside Andrew Dice Clay and Jordan Johnson-Hinds in Quiver Distribution’s basketball drama Warrior Strong, which Shane Belcourt (Red Rover) is directing from Dan Gordon’s (Wyatt Earp) script.
The film currently in production in Canada centers on basketball protege and egocentric Bilal Irving (Johnson-Hinds), who is asked by school principal Jules (Podemski) to serve as the assistant coach of his former high school team, the Dumont Warriors, alongside Coach Avery Schmidt (Clay). Bilal subsequently learns that true coaching involves far more than simply teaching the game. The question is, will this rag-tag team of misfits have what it takes to put aside their differences and become Warrior Strong?
Blasi will play Vicki, who runs the local diner and slowly helps Coach Schmidt out of grieving for his deceased wife, prompting him to move on with a new relationship.
