One year after playing a supporting role on Hard Knocks: Training Camp with the New York Jets, Joe Namath will be the star of the show in an upcoming documentary on HBO.

Manish Mehta of the New York Daily News writes that the movie is currently in the production phase.

Namath’s story has been well covered, but its also one of the most fascinating and multi-faceted in the NFL’s history. HBO almost always gets their sports documentaries right so we’re looking forward to this.
