Good morning, 12s. Here's a look at what's happening today – Wednesday, Nov. 17 – for your Seattle Seahawks.

Trailer Released For Russell Wilson's Upcoming Movie

Walter Payton Man of the Year. Super Bowl-winning quarterback. Film producer?

That's right, Russell Wilson is adding yet another title to his resumé. The seven-time Pro Bowler served as an executive producer on the upcoming football drama "National Champions," which will hit theaters on Dec. 10.

The film centers around a star college quarterback who, hours before the national championship game, sparks a player protest to fight for compensation and equality for student-athletes. Wilson makes a cameo appearance in the film, which stars Stephan James, J.K. Simmons and Alexander Ludwig, among others.

With the release now less than one month away, a trailer for the film was released on Tuesday.
