DCN is resurrecting another story about QB great and gossip favorite, John Elway. In case you didn’t know, Elway “stars” as himself in a movie called “Resurrecting the Champ.” The DVD is available for purchase on DCN’s birthday, Tuesday, April 8 (mark your calendars for both exciting events!).
The PG-13 movie, which came out in August 2007 and stars Samuel L. Jackson, Josh Hartnett and Teri Hatcher, didn’t make it big in theatres due to lack of marketing, but reviews of the movie tell another story – in fact, the movie seems to pack an entertaining punch.
The movie, based on a true story, is about a former boxing champ who is now homeless and living in the streets of Denver. A fictional Denver Times reporter sees the man being attacked by street thugs – but the man doesn’t go down without a fight. The Times reporter realizes there’s more to this man – and thinks perhaps that he has stumbled on the story of his career.
Although the movie was filmed in Calgary, the exterior shots were filmed in Denver. You can see the Bronco’s training ground and Elway’s restaurant (where Elway makes his cameo appearance).
You can read more about the movie at http://www.resurrectingthechamp.com/.
And remember, pre-order your copy of the DVD on Amazon today!

Elway, the Actor?

I agree we need to resurrect one thing in this town - the Broncos. Unfortunately, the Kathy Sabine mister ain't the one to do it. He's old and past his prime, though still the greatest QB ever to play the position. If Jay Cutler can't do it, maybe John Dutton can. Besides, more Dutton means more KLC. I'm a lookin', and I'm a likin'.
This movie is actually not bad. John Hairnet is not terrible, and Samuel Jackson is less obnoxious than usual, though he speaks in a grating, squeaky voice throughout.
Maybe I just like it because it makes journalists look cool.
