Crooked Arrows

All sports have their great movie to call their own. Football has Rudy, Remember the Titan, Any Given Sunday. Basketball has Hoosiers and of course Space Jam, Hockey has Miracle and Mighty Ducks, and Baseball has too many too count. Finally Lacrosse fans everywhere will have our own movie.


Crooked Arrows, expected to release next spring, is the story of a Native American High School Lacrosse team rekindling their  love for the game while challenging the Elite of East Coast Prep School Lacrosse. This traditional underdog story incorporates the spirit of the game with the modern backdrop of High School lacrosse. The movie will be directed by Mitchell Peck who just completed the extremely successful and action packed Priest 3D.


Last week finished the really cool auditions. Peck and his crew traveled to Maryland, New Jersey and Connecticut, all hot bed lacrosse states to enlist the help of budding high school lacrosse stars for a chance to be in this feature film. Over a thousand nation wide talents have already tried out.


The timing of this movie could not be more perfect, it is currently coming in the wake of MTV Teen Wolf. A TV series about a teenage Wearwolf, lacrosse replaces the cliche back story of high school football with California's premier High School Program. The sport will not be an undertone in Crooked Arrow, however but the full blown focus. This additional publicity for the sport comes at a time where proffesional and collegiate lacrosse are gaining national attention, interest and attendence. Denver Universities sucess this year in the NCAA tournament proves the growth of the sport nation wide. With lacrosse's new spot in Hollywood who knows where lacrosse will end up.
