NEW YORK — Rita Moreno and her “80 for Brady” co-stars had to call an audible.
Production for the comedy film about football-loving friends in or around their 80s began last March, shortly after Tom Brady retired from the NFL for the first time. He announced his comeback soon after, causing the movie’s makers to sack one of the film’s final moments.
“We didn’t expect, any of us, that he would un-quit football,” Moreno told the Daily News with a laugh. “We had to rewrite a whole scene at the end. We had already shot [the] scene, but it didn’t make any sense because he suddenly unretired.”
