WWE Studios has announced a new film, currently titled Big Red, which will feature Chase Ellison (who played Willie Stevens on Boomtown). Ed Harris will star as his teacher.

Set against the backdrop of the mid-sixties, “Big Red” is a coming-of-age story which follows 12-year-old Andy Nichol (CHASE ELLISON), a bright student whose English teacher, Mr. Simon (ED HARRIS), pairs him on a project with the school’s biggest outcast and social pariah, Stanley (aka “Big Red”).
