George Clooney, Grant Heslov And Bob Dylan Team Up For ‘Calico Joe’

It follows the aftermath of a near-fatal pitch and how it affected the lives of the batter, the titular character, and the pitcher as well as the pitcher’s son. “George and Grant see in this book what I see in it; a powerful story that will resonate with young and old alike. People in all walks of life will be able relate to it,” Dylan in a statement.

The development of the project is being financed by ZQ Entertainment, a newly-launched company from producer Ara Keshishian and a multi-million dollar financing and development fund managed by Petr Jakl and represented by attorney Martin J. Barab. The fund is focusing on developing “high-end film and television” projects. “Calico Joe” will be executive produced by Jakl, Keshishian and Barab.
