Josh Duhamel and Ernie Hudson will be starring in the baseball drama 'The Wrong Stuff,' based on the bestselling memoir by ex-pitcher Bill "Spaceman" Lee and Richard Lally.
The Rapkin-penned script is being directed by Brett Rapkin and produced by Stephen Nemeth, co-produced by Betsy Stahl and executive produced by Ron Shelton and Eric Gagne, the Deadline.com reported.
Set in the 1980s, the film, whose shooting is expected to begin next week in Los Angeles, chronicles the downward spiral of Major League pitcher Lee, a hot-tempered, self-serving madman unable to see himself as anything other than a baseball player.
Duhamel is cast as the volatile Lee and Hudson will portray Joe, the only black player and first baseman for the all-white, French Canadian Longeuil Senators amateur club.
