Movie to be made about Jon Dorenbos

Former Philadelphia Eagles long snapper and magician Jon Dorenbos is getting the silver screen treatment.

Producer Mike Tollin, whose past work includes "Varsity Blues" and "Coach Carter," has closed a deal to make a movie about Dorenbos' life and career, according to Deadline's Mike Fleming Jr. Tollin said the Eagles' Super Bowl championship put the project on fast track, and that he's already in talks with an A-lister about starring in the movie.
