Its title standing for Philadelphia Department of Recreation, the film will tell the true story of swimming coach Jim Ellis (Terrence Howard), who molded a group of inner-city youths into a wildly successful swim team.
Mac (Guess Who) will play a janitor who joins Ellis in the fight to prevent a recreation centre's closure.
Shooting begins in late April.
