A Hollywood filmmaker from Fox Point is working to commemorate the 50th anniversary of Marquette's 1977 national championship with a movie about the team's historic title run.
The film, titled "The Confessions of Al McGuire," will focus on the legendary coach who led the 1977 Marquette Warriors to their only national championship.
Filmmakers are just months away from starting production, with filming set to take place right here in Milwaukee. The project aims to capture the story of McGuire's championship team as the 2027 anniversary approaches.
The movie represents a significant milestone for both Marquette basketball history and local film production, bringing a major Hollywood project to Milwaukee to tell the story of one of the city's most celebrated sports achievements.
