June 11, 2009 - Secretariat / project announced
Scooped on Thursday, June 11, 2009
Walt Disney Pictures is prepping the 1970s period drama Secretariat for a fall start. Diane Lane has been cast as Penny Chenery, the real-life housewife who, after taking over her father's Virginia farm, discovered that one of its horses was a champion racer. While Secretariat went on to become the 1973 Triple Crown winner Chenery faced financial pitfalls when she was faced with a sizeable inheritance tax and was pressured to sell the horse to keep her head above water.
Randall Wallace (We Were Soldiers) will direct from a script by Mike Rich (The Navity Story).
