While her Brit hubby, Bush frontman Gavin Rossdale,
is following her lead by inking to star in 'The Game
of Their Lives'.
The indie project, being directed by David Anspaugh,
is based on the book by Geoffrey Douglas. Adapted
by Angelo Pizzo, it's the story of the American soccer
team that, in a stunning upset, defeated England in
the 1950 World Cup.
At that time, the tournament barely registered on
America's sports radar, so the United States sent
a hastily assembled band of amateur and semiprofessional
players, composed chiefly of working-class immigrants.
Considered the underdogs, the Americans took on the
seemingly unbeatable English side with surprising
results.
Rossdale, who has an extensive soccer background,
will play English team member Stanley Mortenson. Wes
Bentley stars along with Gerald Butler, Richard Jenik,
Louis Mandylor and Jay Rodan. Rossdale previously
appeared on Showtime's 'The Chris Isaak Show'.
