Legendary football coach Bum Phillips is getting the Hollywood treatment, and a documentary based on his life and career will hit theaters this week.

USA TODAY Sports is exclusively releasing the trailer for "Luv Ya Bum," which will hit theaters on Oct. 24 and be available digitally via video on demand on Nov. 25.

The film was directed by Sam Wainwright Douglas, David Hartstein, and Andrew Miller, produced by Vance Howard, founder of Lucky Number 8 Productions and narrated by actor Dennis Quaid. It features interviews with Earl Campbell, Dan Pastorini, Terry Bradshaw, Peyton Manning, J.J. Watt, Von Miller, and his son, Wade Phillips.

“Bum Phillips was one of the greatest football coaches ever. He was a player's coach," Quaid said. "He inspired his team and the city of Houston.”

"The Luv Ya Blue" Houston Oilers, led by Phillips, with his trademark cowboy hat and no apologies affection for his players, took over the city in the late '70s, helped propel the once-pitiful team, which won two combined games in 1972 and 1973, to the brink of the Super Bowl with two consecutive AFC Championship appearances.

“Bum Phillips is still an inspiration to many,” said Blue Harbor Entertainment, the independent distribution company behind the film, in a statement. “The Lucky Number 8 production team have created a documentary that captures not just the story of a remarkable coach, but the values he stood for: resilience, loyalty, and heart. Luv Ya Bum! offers something meaningful for both longtime football fans and new audiences alike.”

Phillips, who coached the Oilers and the New Orleans Saints, died on Oct. 18, 2013, at age 90.
