NBA star Patrick Patterson and producer Joel Reilly have teamed up to launch a production company with operations in both the US and Canada.
Undisputed Pictures is currently developing, financing and producing a slate of film, television, media and entertainment projects spanning multiple genres and focusing on socially relevant stories.
Patterson and Reilly most recently executive produced the Carly Stone-directed drama North of Normal, starring Sarah Gadon (Alias Grace) and Robert Carlyle (Trainspotting). Shot in Canada, the film is currently in post-production.
At present, Undisputed Pictures has one TV show and four films and in development, including Dock, a biopic about Major League Baseball pitcher Dock Ellis.
An outspoken player for the Pittsburgh Pirates during the 1970s, Ellis was a fierce advocate for black players’ rights, who also famously claimed to have pitched a no-hitter while on LSD. The film focuses on mental health, drug addiction and Dock’s journey to overcome his demons.
The biopic is currently in development with Undisputed and Hacksaw Ridge producer David Permut, with rapper and actor Ice Cube (Friday) among the executive producers.
