Justin Lin is helming the feature about a boy from the wrong side of the tracks whose dream of attending the U.S. Naval Academy becomes a reality. Brewster would play an upper classman who helps Franco's character train in the ring as the two fall for each other, even though it is a violation of academic policy. Brewster's forthcoming features include "Chasing Fate," in which she will star with Kip Pardue; "Nearing Grace"; and the action-comedy "D.E.B.S." Brewster, who is repped by CAA, has appeared in "The Fast and the Furious" and "The Faculty."
