Kevin Hart And LeBron James To Star In Comedy ‘Ballers’
by Staff Editor
While we won’t get a Space Jam sequel starring LeBron James, we can look forward to the Miami Heat star making his big-screen debut with funny man Kevin Hart after the 2013-14 NBA season.
According to Variety, Hart will appear alongside James in Ballers as his underachieving younger brother attending a weekend fantasy basketball camp in hopes of proving himself. The comedy will be co-written by Hart, Chris Spencer, Harry Ratchford and Joey Wells. Brian Grazer and Michael Rosenberg will produce the film.
Hart and James will serve as executive producers alongside Kim Roth and Maverick Carter. A director will be selected after the script is completed.
