09/20: New ESPN Miniseries With George and Billy

Posted by: Patrick

Based on Jonathan Mahler's well-regarded bestseller "Ladies and Gentlemen, The Bronx Is Burning," the eight-party telefilm will look at the summer of 1977, when the Son of Sam was terrifying New Yorkers, a blackout struck the city and the Yankees were feuding their way to a World Series title.

Oliver Platt will play George Steinbrenner, John Turturro (I'm very sneaky, sir) will play Billy Martin and Daniel Sunjata will play Reggie Jackson. It's slated for July 2007.

You may remember him from Mr. Deeds (which I personally couldn't stand), but for many of us, John Turturro will ALWAYS be DeJeezus -- 8 year olds, dude.

I kinda liked him in Quiz Show, too.
