Believe it or not, they’re actually making a movie about lacrosse. When we first heard about this a while back we wrote it off as just another rumor – like the one about how EA Sports was making a lacrosse video game (which was half-true). To my amazement, MTV confirms that the lacrosse movie is in the works.
They’re getting the dude (Kellan Lutz) from 90210 and Twilight to play the lead role. Strangely, the “new” 90210 also features lacrosse – Beverly Hills style. We also learned that MLL star Kyle Harrison is acting as the “lacrosse consultant” on the set. Hopefully he teaches them how to cradle so we don’t have to endure a repeat of Ox and Stiffler (from “American Pie”) doing the “ankle-to-ear” super-cradle while roll-dodging down the field.
With obvious skepticism, we present: “Warrior” – the lacrosse movie.

From MTV.com:
‘Twilight’ Star Kellan Lutz To Become A ‘Warrior’
“I’m gonna be doing [a movie] in Connecticut in December, it’s called ‘Warrior,’” he revealed to us. “It’s a sports movie about a lacrosse player whose dad dies in the military.”
Although little is currently known about the flick or his co-stars, Lutz said that the role will offer him the chance to stretch some dramatic muscles, while simultaneously dealing with a timely subject. “[My character] has to cope with [the death], and not having a father,” explained the star, who also depicts a lacrosse player in his current recurring “90210” role. “[So he] just goes on a rebellious stage.”
Eventually, however, the young rebel learns to get his life back on track. “He goes away to this camp and really matures, and becomes a man,” Lutz said of the script. “Then he comes back and he finishes up and ties up all his loose ends.”
“It’s a really good story,” he explained of his reason for signing on to the film. “It’s really well-written.”
