LeBron James is basketball’s biggest star, so it’s only fitting that a movie be made about his life…right?
A feature based on the high school years of Miami Heat star LeBron James is in play, and I’m hearing there are two offers on the table, with at least two more expected by tomorrow. The project is based on a pitch by Frank E. Flowers, with Terence Winter and Rachel Winter attached to produce with James and his manager Maverick Carter. The deal is expected to be sealed before the weekend. Winter is the creator ofBoardwalk Empire, and he was Oscar nominated for his The Wolf Of Wall Streetscript. Rachel Winter is his wife, and she was Oscar nominated for Dallas Buyers Club.
The film would be based on the documentary ¨More Than A Game¨ that chronicled James’ high school basketball team.
LeBron possibly producing movies about himself with Oscar nominated producers? That’s huge.
