Do the Hustle

Toronto: Director Peter Bogdanovich is in Toronto for four weeks, lensing Hustle: The Pete Rose Story for ESPN. The biopic stars Tom Sizemore and follows the baseball great’s gambling habits, leading to his lifetime ban from the game in 1989. Terry Gould produces with exec Orly Adelson. Adelson also worked on the Toronto shoot of ESPN’s Playmakers series, the future of which is in some doubt following complaints from the NFL. Hustle will air on the U.S. cable channel this fall.

Drive, she said

Toronto: The CBS telepic Suburban Madness is in Toronto until June, with Elizabeth Pena (Rush Hour) and Sela Ward (The Day After Tomorrow) acting out the true story of a Texas woman who murdered her cheating husband by repeatedly running him over with a Mercedes.

Robert Dornhelm directs and Mark Winemaker produces for U.S.-based Storyline Entertainment, not to be confused with the local shop of the same name. Madness is Storyline’s first project with CBS since the net killed its controversial Ronald Reagan biopic last year. Sean Davidson
