Disney has confirmed the details of cheerleader comedy The Matadors.
The movie will be based on the all-male cheerleading squad that supports The Chicago Bulls. The squad was formed by two die-hard pro basketball fans that wanted to show their dedication to the Bulls.
It will be written by Not Another Teen Movie's Mike Bedner, while Anne Fletcher provides choreography.
Speaking about the film, Fletcher told The Hollywood Reporter: "These guys who are the ultimate fans, the biggest deed they can do is dance and cheerlead for their team.
"I wanted to do an all-out comedy, and having the dance elements, that was icing on the cake."
She added: "It's an array of guys, with all sorts of shapes and sizes. We'll be able to have fun with the casting."
