LeBron James to Play Himself in Fantasy Basketball Camp

September 17, 2009

Variety reports that LeBron James will make his feature starring debut, playing himself in Fantasy Basketball Camp, a Universal Pictures and Imagine Entertainment comedy.

Brian Grazer is producing. Lowell Ganz and Babaloo Mandel are writing the script.

The film is a comedy about five guys from different backgrounds who come to Vegas to live out their fantasy by attending the LeBron James Adult Basketball Camp. While it should be enough that these dreamers get to breathe the same oxygen as their hero, the campers drag James into their various life issues, ranging from serious to idiotic.

Filming is expected to start next summer.

This could be good if done with the right cast! Get more well known actors (not superstars) to play some of these roles, don't let James carry it himself.

Agreed. Good supporting cast is definitely needed. If not this movie will be a bomb like "tick-tick". And this is coming from someone who lives in Cleveland, is a Cavs fan, and Lebron is his favorite player. Gotta keep it real though. They better not ruin this.
