Julia Roberts’ niece, Emma Roberts, upcoming movie “The Winning Season” is more than a typical basketball movie – it’s about leadership and human relationships! It’s a funny movie with a deeper meaning, written and direct by James Strouse (watch trailer below).

Emma said, “I thought the script was really cool, and it was a movie that had basketball in it, but it’s not like a basketball movie. It’s about so much more than that. I met Jim [James Strouse] and I really liked him, I thought he was a cool guy, and Sam [Rockwell] was attached to do it, and I’ve known Sam for a very, very long time, and I definitely wanted to work with him. It just seemed like it would be a really great project.”

The Winning Season tells the story of Bill Greaves (Sam Rockwell) is an adult misfit recruited by the local high school principal (Rob Corddry) to coach the school’s floundering girls’ basketball team. Initially retreating from what appears to be a hopeless situation, Bill perseveres and manages to help the team and its captain (Emma Roberts) ratchet up its competitive spirit, while the girls offer Bill a renewed life focus.

This could be a Disney movie for men facing a midlife crisis. No kidding. We think Emma should be taking more challenging roles because she really is a great and versatile actress. Good luck!
