"Friday Night Lights" executive producer Peter Berg reportedly has said he and fellow executive producer Jason Katims are looking to produce a film based on the NBC series, which was inspired by the 2004 film of the same name. "We're hoping to bring Kyle (Chandler) and Connie (Britton) back and some of the other characters, and introduce a whole bunch of new characters," Berg told E! Online.
