Jake Gyllenhaal to Star in and Produce Amazon MGM Sports Movie "Play By Play"

Jake Gyllenhaal is set to star in and produce "Play by Play," a sports movie in development at Amazon MGM Studios, based on a pitch from Chris McCoy.

McCoy will script the film, the plot of which is being kept under wraps.

Gyllenhaal will also produce via his Nine Stories banner alongside Josh McLaughlin and the Religion of Sports’ Tom Brady and Gotham Chopra.

Under a first-look film deal at Amazon MGM, Gyllenhaal previously starred in its 2024 remake of "Road House," directed by Doug Liman, which broke records with more than 50 million viewers in its first two weekends on Prime Video.

He is returning for a forthcoming sequel helmed by Ilya Naishuller, where he’s also a producer.

Gyllenhaal is also in business with the streamer on "Honeymoon with Harry," a forthcoming dramedy where he’ll star opposite Kevin Costner, as well as "Code Black," a political thriller based on a short story by Harrison Query that’s currently in development.

Coming off of Emmy and Golden Globe nominations for his starring turn in Apple’s "Presumed Innocent," a murder mystery that is now one of Apple’s most-watched dramas of all time, Gyllenhaal is back on board as executive producer of the forthcoming second season.

He can be seen in Warner Bros’ Frankenstein-inspired gothic crime flick "The Bride!," directed by his sister Maggie Gyllenhaal, which is just opening in theaters.

Up next for Gyllenhaal is M. Night Shyamalan’s supernatural romantic thriller "Remain," which Warner Bros releases on October 23, and the Netflix action thriller "Kill Switch," also penned by Query.
