Bogdanovich To Direct Pete Rose Biopic
9 April 2004 (StudioBriefing)
Peter Bogdanovich, once praised by critics for such films as The Last Picture Show and Paper Moon, but reviled in recent years for such flops as Illegally Yours and the recent low-rated ABC-TV flick The Mystery of Natalie Wood, has agreed to direct Hustle: The Pete Rose Story for ESPN. The Disney-owned sports cable network plans to air the movie on Sept. 25. It is scheduled to go before the cameras in Toronto next month.
