SHARE New documentary about ’85 Bears planned

As we come up on the 30th anniversary of the Bears winning the Super Bowl in 1985, Chicago lawyer Rich Lenkov of Bryce Downey & Lenkov is producing a new documentary about that special time in Windy City sports history. Former Bear and ’85 team member Otis Wilson is a co-producer, and the film will be narrated by Jim Belushi.

The film is expected to be released next summer, just prior to the beginning of the 2015 NFL season. Among those featured in the documentary will be ’85 team members Jim McMahon, Mike Singletary and Richard Dent.

Also interviewed for the film will be Mayor Rahm Emanuel and actors Jeremy Piven and John Cusack — both Chicago area natives and big Bears fans.
