Says Coleman, who was accompanying wrestler Mark Schultz (played by Channing Tatum) to a boxing match: "I pitched in a bathroom outside the fight arena and sent him my screenplay when I got back to the States. I never heard from him." Coleman partnered with Tom Heller, who put the project in the hands of Bennett Miller in 2006, and the rest is history. No response yet from Grazer’s camp.
