Michael Evers celebrated his 21st birthday at Katsuya last night. His friend, private chef Michele Gargani, carried in the cake. Michael is starring in “One Heart” the teens-in-prison movie produced and written by Lane Garrison, who was inside at the party.
We were the first to reveal that Lane Garrison is producing a movie called “One Heart” featuring Michael Evers (above.) Lane talked to In Touch magazine about the movie and the time he spent in jail. He detailed some of the prison conditions he endured, but he DOESN’T want anyone to think he’s complaining. Lane admits HE caused his incarceration to happen because he chose to drink and drive. He went on to say “If talking about what happened to me will prevent one person from drinking and driving, then this whole tragedy won’t have been in vain.” Friends say Lane is genuinely remorseful and learned his lesson.

We told you in December that Lane Garrison is becoming a producer and now he’s started work on his first project “One Heart.” It’s about a maximum security juvenile facility (age 13 to 20) in Texas that allowed boys who behaved to form a football team, practice on Friday nights, and challenge local high schools. The team of inmates always had empty bleachers on their side at the schools (no one to cheer them on) and they never won their games. Eventually a kindhearted coach from Faith High School “adopted” the team and provided cheerleaders and students to fill the stands and cheer for them. The inmates started winning and the inspired players went on to lead productive lives. Lane is starring as the coach and he’s already cast Michael Evers as an inmate/football player.

Former “Prison Break” actor Lane Garrison really got lucky when the Sandra Bullock movie “The Blind Side “ became a hit. Lane hopes to become a producer and his first project is “One Heart” – the true story of a football team made up of Texas kids convicted of crimes. It’s an inspiring story and a subject Lane knows a lot about – he’s played football AND he just got out of jail in April after being convicted of DUI manslaughter, The success of “The Blind Side” made Lane’s idea an easier sell and he’s made a deal and he’s almost finished writing the script.
