The upcoming Hockey-based film Believe 13 has found its legendary coach, Jack Blatherwick, in Liam Neeson. Blatherwick was instrumental in the US "Miracle on Ice" victory over the then Soviet Union in the 1980 Winter Olympics. The game entered the annuls of sporting history as the American team scripted a comeback in the third period to win the match 4-3.
The coach also helped a teen, who was reeling from an injury, recover and get back into the sport. Believe 13 marks the third collaboration between Neeson and director Robert Lorenz after The Marksman and In the Land of Saints and Sinners. Lorenz is helming the film from a script by Randy Brown. This is also Lorenz's fourth film, including Trouble with the Curve.
Meanwhile, Liam Neeson had three releases this year: Cold Storage, The Fix, and The Mongoose. He also has debutant Frankie Shaw's 4 Kids Walk Into a Bank, awaiting release. The film is based on a limited series crime comic of the same name.
