Sex and the City co-star Kristin Davis has been tapped as the female lead opposite Matthew Modine in the TNT telefilm The Winning Season, a Johnson & Johnson presentation. The film, based on Dan Gutman's book Honus and Me, centers on a 12-year-old baseball fan who finds a magic Honus Wagner baseball card. Through it, the boy goes back in time to the 1909 World Series, where he befriends baseball great Wagner (Modine) and his fiancee, Mandy Henton (Davis). John Kent Harrison is set to direct the movie from a script by Steven L. Bloom. The project, from Rosemont Prods., Magna Global Entertainment and Viacom Prods., is scheduled to premiere in the spring. Davis is best known for her role as wide-eyed, idealistic Charlotte York on HBO's Emmy- and Golden Globe-winning comedy series Sex and the City. Her TV credits also include the Fox series Melrose Place and the telefilms Three Days, Atomic Train and Take Me Home: The John Denver Story. Last year, Davis starred opposite Paul Rudd in the play Land of the Dead as part of the star-studded cast of Brave New World, a three-day marathon of short plays commemorating 9/11 that ran Sept. 9-11 in New York. Davis is repped by Endeavor, Mosaic Media Group's Dave Fleming and attorney Jason Sloane.
