Wrexham Afc, the Welsh soccer club recently taken over by Ryan Reynolds and Rob McElhenney, is to be the subject of “A League Apart,” a British romantic comedy from Mad As Birds, producers of “The Vanishing,” starring Gerard Butler.
To be directed by S.J. Evans (“Hiraeth”), the film will follow Phil, a lovable yet down-on-his-luck man obsessed with his failing Wrexham Afc soccer team. His American girlfriend, Christina, wants more out of life and love and Phil must prove that she is more important to him than his soccer team winning.
While “A League Apart” is a work of fiction, its climax is centered around the real-life 1992 Fa Cup clash between bottom of the league underdogs Wrexham and reigning Division One champions, Arsenal.
The project is in the final stages of development, with plans to begin filming in the summer of 2021.
