Mayim Bialik’s Sad Clown Prepping ‘The Maccabees’ Film On Historic Achievements Of Yeshiva University Men’s Basketball Team
Mayim Bialik is prepping 'The Maccabees,' a new film focused on the record-setting Yeshiva University Men's Basketball Team.
Written by Matt Ritter( Chained to My Ex), the film will watch as a disillusioned lawyer moonlighting as a basketball coach leads his underdog team of Jewish players to a remarkable winning streak, shattering stereotypes in the process. A sturdy team that’s defied all odds while staying true to their heritage, they’ve played while enduring antisemitic slurs and created a schedule that works for their religious needs, as they observe the Sabbath, fasting days and Jewish holidays. Our company is proud to bring this truly unbelievable and inspiring story to life, and we are eager to find partners who believe in continuing the message that Coach Elliot Steinmetz and the Maccabees of Yeshiva University were able to spread in their historic run.”
