Watch J.K. Simmons lead an all-star cast in trailer for sports drama National Champions

November 17, 2021 by Matt Rodgers

STX Entertainment have just dropped the trailer for their forthcoming sports drama National Champions, which focuses on an American football team and their fight to be fairly compensated for their college careers.

Directed by Greenland‘s Ric Roman Waugh, the film features an impressive roster of stars to line-up alongside J.K. Simmons (Spider-Man), including Stephan James (If Beale Street Could Talk), Alexander Ludwig​​​​​​ (Vikings), Lil Rel Howery (Free Guy), Tim Blake Nelson (Watchmen), former Seattle Seahawks Quarterback Russell Wilson, Andrew Bachelor (Greenland), Jeffrey Donovan (Burn Notice), David Koechner (Anchorman), Kristin Chenoweth (Pushing Daisies), Timothy Olyphant (Justified) and Uzo Aduba (Orange is the New Black); check out the trailer below…

Three days before the college football national championship game, star quarterback LeMarcus James (Stephan James) and teammate Emmett Sunday (Alexander Ludwig) ignite a player’s strike declaring they won’t compete until all student-athletes are fairly compensated. With billions of dollars at risk and legacies on the line, the stakes could not be higher. Now, with only hours until kickoff, the head coach (J.K. Simmons) and various power brokers (Lil Rel Howery, Tim Blake Nelson, Andrew Bachelor, Jeffrey Donovan, David Koechner, Kristin Chenoweth, Timothy Olyphant, Uzo Aduba) must race against the clock to protect or destroy the prevailing collegiate athletics system.

National Champions touches down in US theatres on December 10th.
