 |  Subject: First Look At Gerard Butler, Catherine Zeta-Jones, And Judy Greer In Playing The Field  Sat Nov 19, 2011 6:35 pm | |
| Despite the title being a little bit too obvious a joke for it being a ‘soccer mom’ comedy, Playing The Field certainly sounds like it has a lot of potential to be good. The film is directed by Gabriele Muccino, whose credits include the Will Smith-starrers, Seven Pounds and The Pursuit of Happyness, and features an excellent cast including the likes of Gerard Butler, Catherine Zeta-Jones, Judy Greer, Jessica Biel, Dennis Quaid, and the brilliant Uma Thurman.
The first images from the film have surfaced over at The Playlist, giving us a look at Butler, Zeta-Jones, and Greer, and though they don’t give us much of an insight into the film, they’re excellent to see all the same.
Playing the Field focuses on,
“Butler, who plays a troubled father and former pro soccer player who tries to make up for lost time by coaching his son’s team. He ends up in trouble when he gets involved with some of the local soccer moms. Biel will play Butler’s ex-wife who is engaged to be married, while Thurman will play a woman on the prowl for Butler. Zeta-Jones plays a hot newscaster, while Greer takes on the role of a lathered-up housewife.”
The film was first to be set around baseball as Butler’s son’s sport of choice, but after taking into consideration the potential to promote the film internationally, the sport was changed to soccer (or, as we crazy folk call it here, football), given its popularity across the globe.
With a UK release date scheduled for 20th April next year, we don’t have all that long to wait until it hits the big screen, and can no doubt look forward to seeing more from the film in the form of a trailer early in the new year. Without further ado, here are the first images to tie you down until then.

It’s kind of funny when you look at the headliners in the new romantic comedy PLAYING THE FIELD. If you saw this cast lineup in 1999 (after ENTRAPMENT), then you’d probably be really excited to see Catherine Zeta-Jones’ name. But if you saw this in2006 (after 300), then you’d be more excited for Gerard Butler. Now? Well, you’re either not excited at all or you’re most looking forward to seeing Judy Greer break out of her supporting roles and into leading lady status. It’s funny how much changes in Hollywood in five years.
The film is about a former pro soccer player (Gerard Butler) that ends up coaching his son’s soccer team, but gets in trouble when he gets involved with several of the local soccer moms. Along with Zeta-Jones and Greer, the film stars Uma Thurman and Jessica Biel. Gabriele Muccino is directing the film, who also directed SEVEN POUNDS. PLAYING THE FIELD hits theaters on March 9th, 2012.
