2 Vikings inspire film
Associated Press
Vikings quarterback Randall Cunningham and wide
receiver Cris Carter have inspired a new movie that's about to
start filming. Minneapolis filmmaker Tim VandeSteeg will shoot
"Mulligan -- a Golf Comedy" beginning July 11.
VandeSteeg described the movie as a cross between a golf cult
classic and recent comedies.
"Its kind of like we took the guys from 'Clerks' and the
guys from 'Swingers' and let them play this unbelievable game
of golf" he said.
Most of the golf will take place at Superior National Golf Course
near Lutsen. Filming will last about 3 weeks.
Vikings quarterback Randal Cunningham and reciever Chris Carter
served as inspiration for the project, VandeSteeg said.
The players, both devout Christians, attribute their spirituality
as being key to their resurgent careers.
They personify "taking a mulligan on life, a second chance, and
not being afraid to do it," VandeSteeg said of the two players,
who have overcome obstacles to revive their careers.
