Paul Rudd is taking a dramatic turn to star in THE CATCHER WAS A SPY. The film’s script was adapted by Robert Rodat from the book by Nicholas Dawidoff. Ben Lewin is set to direct.
Rudd will star in the true story as Moe Berg, the only Major League ballplayer whose baseball card is on display at the headquarters of the CIA. He has the singular distinction of having both a 15-year career as a catcher for such teams as the New York Robins and the Chicago White Sox and that of a spy for the OSS during World War II.
Kevin Frakes and Mark Fasano are producing for PalmStar Media with Animus Films’ Jim Young and Serena Films’ Tatiana Kelly. PalmStar’s Buddy Patrick is executive producing.
Rudd starred in last year’s Ant-Man as the titular character and will reprise his role in the highly anticipated Captain America: Civil War.
Rudd is repped by UTA and Lighthouse Management.
