Talentville coverage for Wildcard (5-2012)

WILDCARD is a small character driven sports dramedy about a fallen tennis star’s comeback that has the potential to be a very solid film with further development. It is somewhat surprising that tennis has not translated itself better in movies. Beautiful young athletes, lots of money, celebrity, and most importantly the direct competition are all inherent elements of the sport. Based on the potential strength of this story, with stronger developed characters and a more defined external conflict this script has a good working formula to delve into this relatively untapped world and should merit consideration.
