Seattle Seahawks running back Marshawn Lynch has become a somewhat mysterious figure, mostly because he doesn't say much to the media.
Well, a new movie is going to tell the story of his life. That an extended preview of it dropped on YouTube the week after the Academy Awards can't be a coincidence because (spoiler alert) this might be the next Best Picture nominee.
"Family First," a biopic about Marshawn Lynch's life, will be released this year. It was produced in June and July of 2014 and oh enough of the suspense let's get to this preview (WARNING: There is some swearing and strong language in this YouTube clip):
Eat your heart out, "Birdman."
The high school version of Lynch was played by his brother Davonte according to the IMDB page (and Delisa Lynch plays Marshawn's mother after his high school years), and it appears that Lynch plays himself from his college days at Cal on. It's hard to buy a 28-year-old fully grown Lynch as the Cal version of himself, but whatever.
Based on the preview this will be about what you'd expect from a movie like this, which is pure straight-to-DVD cheesy greatness.
Lynch is apparently considering retirement again, and now we know he has a future as an actor when he's done running in the NFL.
