Congratulations are in order to “Station 19” Star Jaina Lee Ortiz as she booked a new movie role!!
According to Deadline,
A big-screen adaptation of Humberto G. Garcia’s book Mustang Miracle titled The Long Game is in the works.
The Long Game is set to star Jay Hernandez (Suicide Squad, Magnum P.I.), Jaina Lee Ortiz (Girls Trip, Station 19), Dennis Quaid (Midway, A Dog’s Purpose), and Julian Works (Beautiful Boy, 9-1-1: Lone Star).
Based on a true story set in mid-1950s Texas, the film spotlights five young Mexican-American caddies at a local, exclusive golf club where the discriminatory laws of the era forbade them from playing. Out of their love for the game, they created their own homemade course in the Texas desert and, with the help of a resilient Latino coach, went on to overcome the challenges of racism and discrimination to beat the wealthy, all-white teams to win the 1957 Texas State High School Golf Championship.
Production starts this month.
