Kyra Sedgwick will star opposite Dwayne "The Rock" Johnson in Walt Disney Pictures' family football comedy "The Game Plan."

The movie's start of production was postponed after Johnson suffered a ruptured Achilles tendon in June. Production is now slated to start Sept. 24 in Boston.

Mark Ciardi and Gordon Gray, whose football movie "Invincible" has proved to be a winner at the boxoffice, are producing. Andy Fickman directs.

The film, written by Nichole Millard and Kathryn Price, centers on a football player who learns that he has a daughter and follows his journey to become a father. Sedgwick, who was nominated for an Emmy and a Golden Globe for her work on TNT's drama "The Closer," will play Johnson's ruthless, over-the-top sports agent who doesn't care about the daughter.

Morris Chestnut and Paige Turco also have been cast in the movie. Madison Pettis is playing the daughter.

"Kyra will add a great comedic touch to the film, and we're glad to have her on board along with the Rock's newly healed Achilles," Gray said. "We're excited to be back on track with this movie."

Brigham Taylor and Todd Murata oversee for Disney.

Sedgwick is repped by Gersh, Handprint and attorney Ira Schreck.
