Blake Van Leer III and Rob Grier Jr. announce the release date for future film, Bowl Game Armageddon. The Grier-Van Leer project is currently in the works with plans to release the film at the Sundance Film Festival and Cannes Film Festival in 2024. After 65 years, the Grier and Van Leer families have come together to recount the true story of Bobby Grier, a University of Pittsburgh football player, and Blake Van Leer, the fifth President of Georgia Tech, who were at the forefront of the most politically explosive football game in history. The film will tell how Grier and Van Leer fought and won against segregationists who tried to prevent African American Grier from playing in the 1956 Sugar Bowl, marking it as the first integrated Sugar Bowl in history and first integrated bowl game in the Deep South.
