MLS legend Chris Wondolowski to be subject of Hollywood film

A feature-length film chronicling the life and professional soccer career of San Jose Earthquakes legend Chris Wondolowski is in development. The movie is set to be produced by the Hollywood-based Gritty Film Productions. Before becoming the top goal-scorer in MLS history, Wondoowizk was a little-known high school and college prospect turned fourth-round MLS Supplemental Draft pick out of Chico State. He eventually became a club icon with San Joes and made the 2014 World Cup roster for USMNT. His career spanned 17 seasons and he retired at the end of the 2021 season at age 38.
