The Next Great Notre Dame Movie?

Production is scheduled to begin SOON, on the Notre Dame campus, for a movie tentatively entitled "Two Miles From Home."  The film will detail the inspiring recovery of Haley Scott, a Notre Dame swimmer who was on the team's charter bus when it crashed on the Indiana Toll Road in January 1992 -- just two miles from the Notre Dame campus. Two Irish swimmers, Megan Beeler and Colleen Hipp, were killed in that accident and Scott was left facing a life of paralysis.  Yet, after six back operations and physical / emotional hardships Haley was able to swim once again for the Irish -- just 21 months later!  I'm quite sure Haley's book; "What Though the Odds" -- inspired this movie.  I frankly like that title better for the movie!!!  Here's a replay of a WNDU-TV story and a link to where you can buy Hayley's book:
