There is going to be a movie about FIFA.
No, not that godawful United Passions movie, which we here at the18.com couldn’t stand either. This film is about the corruption scandal.
Teaming up to make the film will be Hollywood A-Listers Ben Affleck and Matt Damon, along with Entertainment 360’s Guymon Casady and Darin Friedman. A writer and director are attached as well.
Normally when someone says a movie is the worst movie in the history of everything, you'd take a look at Tommy Wiseau's "The Room" and see that it can get worse. This isn't the case with the FIFA propaganda film "United Passions." It somehow manages to be worse than "The Room" and that's saying something.
Don't get me wrong, Tim Roth nails it--he always does--but literally every other part of the movie fails on literally every single level. No, I am not being hyperbolic.
Each week (or so), The18's Mike Smith takes a look at how football is portrayed and covered in the media and popular culture. This week, we review the documentary "The Class of '92."
Fan of sports documentaries? We got a new one for you. "Jack to a King - The Swansea Story" is a documentary about the football club's rise from nearly out of business to the glamor of the Premier League, directed by Welsch filmmaker Marc Evans.
