According to The Hollywood Reporter, 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 GAME PLAN, 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.
