We blogged about The Blind Side, the movie about the life of Ravens’ rookie lineman Michael Oher, in recent weeks. That movie hits theaters today next Friday. The movie is based on the book, The Blind Side: Evolution of a Game, by Michael Lewis.

Thanks to Twitter user @atrumb for catching our error. A lack of caffeine before posting led us to think the movie was starting today with all the publicity that has been all over the place this week.

The Blind Side is an upcoming 2009 film written and directed by John Lee Hancock, and based on the 2006 book The Blind Side: Evolution of a Game by Michael Lewis. The storyline features Michael Oher, an offensive lineman for the Baltimore Ravens NFL football team. The film follows Oher from his impoverished upbringings, through his years at Briarcrest Christian School, his adoption by Sean and Leigh Anne Tuohy, and on to his position as one of the most highly coveted prospects in college football.

The film stars Quinton Aaron as Michael Oher and Sandra Bullock and Tim McGraw as Leigh Anne and Sean Tuohy, Oher’s adopted parents. Kathy Bates co-stars as Miss Sue, Oher’s no-nonsense tutor. The movie also features appearances by several current and former NCAA coaches, including Phil Fulmer, Nick Saban, Lou Holtz and Tommy Tuberville.

Here’s the full trailer for the movie:
