The movie will be set in 2012 when the Saints head coach was famously suspended for the entire NFL season due to the Saints’s bounty scandal. King wrote, the suspension “gives Payton the chance to re-assess his life and put it in some perspective.”

The movie does not have a release date yet, but Adam Sandler’s Happy Madison Productions will be producing it.

Soon after the news, the Falcons Twitter account sent out a photoshopped picture, which made the Saints Twitter account fire right back:
