Jon Hamm stars in new baseball film 'Million Dollar Arm'
Baseball drama "Million Dollar Arm", starring "Mad Men" lead Jon Hamm, is set to hit U.S. theaters next month.
Hamm plays real-life sports agent J.B. Bernstein in the film.
The film follows Bernstein's quest to find the next great baseball stars in India, while filming the process for a reality show competition.
A baseball fan since childhood, Hamm, a Saint Louis native, says making the film is a dream come true.
"When I grew up in the 70s, the Cardinals were a really good baseball team in the 60s, a terrible baseball team in the 70s, and an amazing baseball team in the 80s. So I grew up you know the first 10 years of my life watching terrible baseball and supporting it and loving it and still wanting to go every day to the game. So that's how you do it in St. Louis. It's just part of us."
Hamm traveled to India to shoot the film and fell in love with the bustling country.
"India is incredible. Getting off the plane it's like you were assaulted with noise and heat and smells and sights and language is completely indecipherable and yet everybody is incredibly friendly, incredibly welcoming."
"Million Dollar Arm" also stars Lake Bell, Alan Arkin, Bill Paxton and "Life of Pi" actor Suraj Sharma.
It opens in U.S. theaters May 16.
