London, July 6
Rain Spencer and Ariana Greenblatt are set to star in the feature film 'Little Five', from Anne Hathaway's production company Somewhere Pictures and Pigasus Pictures, reported Deadline.
Ian Samuels will direct from a screenplay by Gillian Williams and Paul Shoulberg. Additional casting and production details have not been announced.
According to the outlet, set against the backdrop of Indiana University in the early 1980s and inspired by the iconic Little 500 bicycle race, 'Little Five' follows four unlikely young women who come together to chase one impossible dream. As they fight for a place in one of America's most storied collegiate sporting traditions, they discover that true greatness isn't achieved alone, and that changing history sometimes begins with a single team.
Inspired by true events, the film captures the spirit of an era defined by big dreams, bigger risks, unforgettable music, and the women who helped redefine collegiate athletics.
Spencer is known for starring in the breakout hit series 'The Summer I Turned Pretty'. She won Best Performance at the Tribeca Festival for Good Girl Jane and is currently seen in 'Big Girls Don't Cry', which premiered at Sundance this year.
Greenblatt is best known for her performances in Barbie and Now You See Me: Now You Don't. She is represented by Untitled Entertainment, CAA and Jackoway Austen Tyerman.

Anne Hathaway producing? That's solid. And Rain Spencer from The Summer I Turned Pretty - she was brilliant in that. This sounds like a classic underdog story with 80s nostalgia thrown in. Hope the music is killer! 🎵
Is it just me or does this feel like a desi version of 'Breaking Point' from that one Netflix series? But I'm honestly excited. We need more movies about women kicking butt in sports. Just wish Hollywood would cast more Indian actors in such roles - but good for Rain and Ariana! 🇮🇳
Another Hollywood movie about American college life. I mean, it's nice and all, but can we get some representation of Indian sports stories too? Our women's cricket team or kabaddi players deserve this kind of spotlight. But I'll still watch it for the 80s vibe. 😅
The Little 500 race is fascinating! I read about it once - it's like the Indianapolis 500 for bicycles but started by students. And with women's involvement in the 80s? That's a story worth telling. Fingers crossed they don't mess up the historical context. 🤞
Wow, Ariana Greenblatt from Barbie! She's really climbing the ladder. And 'inspired by true events' always gets me. Hope they show the real struggles these women faced in the 80s. Could be an important film about breaking barriers. 🌟
