Calgary: Samuel L. Jackson, Alan Alda and Josh Hartnett (Sin City) are headed to Calgary to star in the Yari Film Group/Phoenix Pictures effort Resurrecting the Champ, according to Variety. The film, scheduled to begin shooting in mid-June, is based on a series of articles by Los Angeles Times reporter J.R. Moehringer, who befriended a homeless man claiming to be a former boxing champion. Champ will be directed by Rod Lurie (Commander in Chief, The Contender) and produced by Bob Yuri, Marc Frydman (The Contender), and the Phoenix trio of Arnold Messer, Brad Fischer and Mike Medavoy.
