According to the Hollywood Reporter Disney is in the process of signing on a director and penning the project McFarland.
Here are the details:
The studio is developing the track team drama McFarland, and is in negotiations with Niki Caro to direct the project, which hails from Mayhem Pictures. Mayhem’s Mark Ciardi and Gordon Gray are well-known in the inspirational sports genre, having produced movies such as Miracle, Invincible and Secretariat.
McFarland also falls in that true-story fold, telling the tale of a coach living in 1980s predominantly Latino McFarland, Calif., a small town outside of Bakersfield. The coach created a high school track team that overcame many social and physical hurdles to become champions.
