Charles S. Dutton Joins David Banner & Vivica A. Fox in Film Based on Controversial 1988 Carter H.S

[CEITEDMOFO]

Original post:

Charles S. Dutton has joined Vivica A. Fox, David Banner and Pooch Hall in the feature drama "Carter High," which centers on the 1988 Carter High Cowboys, a formidable high school football team in Texas that overcame adversity to win the Texas State Championship. However, it is what happened after their championship season that rocked the world of sport. 9 of the 18 Division 1 scholarship players went on to commit a string of robberies, and all were apprehended before the start of their freshman college seasons, leading to national headlines, courtroom drama and eventual prison sentences. Their state title was stripped in January 1991, the trophy returned, the record book revised, and a best-seller titled "Friday Night Lights" was born.

Dutton will play the coach of the 1988 Carter High Cowboys. Vivica Fox plays his wife.

Reginald C Hayes also has joined the cast.

In his 1990 best-seller, "Friday Night Lights," author H.G. Bissinger chronicled Odessa Permian's 1988 season, which culminated in a 14-9 state semifinal loss to Carter High - a book that some Carter players take little issue with, specifically the 2004 movie adaptation, which they say depicts them as dirty-playing thugs.

The 1988 Carter team was stocked with talent, including future 5-time Pro Bowl linebacker Jessie Armstead. Their star player, Gary Edwards, was among those sentenced to prison for 16 years. He was paroled in 1993.

Former Carter High School football player Arthur Muhammad is directing the film from his own script, with principal photography already underway in Dallas.

Former Dallas Cowboy Greg Ellis is executive producing the film, with Play Now Enterprise and Tycor International Film Company, producing.

The movie is scheduled for a 2015 release.

lol@ the snoop smile. I never knew the NFL did this a can you( or someone else) provide an example. I hate when people act this way I am trying to engage in a conversation and you make a snarky comment just because I do not automatically agree with you or have a different take on the situation.

I have never heard of an SuperBowl championship being taken away because of bad off field behavior. The Cowboys, for one, wouldn't have any SB titles left.

hold on bruh!, for one you making assumption with this. With any organization The MLB, The NFL, high school football, college football when you have crimes example: rape allegations (check the James Winston case where he was kicked off the team), robbery, murder those are consider serious crimes..even fights. do you honestly think the league is going to swept stuff like this under the rug? or a crime that becomes widespread in the media. majority of these situation someone is reprimanded. Also you must look at the year this happen, nowadays folks get reprimanded Jeremy Hill with LSU for punching a white boy outside the club, suspended and couldnt play. The situation changes but only slightly

I can understand kicking someone off the team or suspending for what they do off field but taking away there trophies or titles? I have not heard the NFL doing that unless that is what you meant by some what. Because they committed a crime they are changing records and stats now. that just seems excessive and unnecessary.

I know NFL players that played for SB champs have done drugs, beat women, committed assault, rape etc. and none of their titles have been stripped.

Carter H.S. is mostly an All-black school in inner-city Dallas (Oak Cliff area). They were probably an easy target to go after & take down. If this was 1 of the Football power High Schools in the upper-middle class/rich suburbs of the Dallas/Fort-Worth metroplex, them titles would've never been taken away.
