Robert De Niro is in talks to portray Tommy Lasorda, the legendary manager of the Los Angeles Dodgers, in a new sports film titled 'Tommy & Me'. The project is being developed by Skydance Sports, with Reid Carolin directing from a script by George Gallo, Cambron Clark, and Carolin. Lasorda, who died in 2021, spent over 70 years with the Dodgers as a player, scout, coach, and manager, leading the team to two World Series titles. The film will chronicle his life and career. De Niro, a two-time Oscar winner, will next appear in 'Focker-in-Law'.
