KD is going to ‘star’ in a Warner Bros. movie?

Daniel Hawaii :Is this for real?If so, I’m surprised KD was picked to star in a movie faster than Dwight Howard. D12 hasn’t been in any movies, has he?

Yes he has. And so has Dwayne Wade, and Queen Latifah's orgasm.

TaoMaas :“The Hangover 3″…a group of friends travel to Beaumont, TX to participate in a charity basketball game….

Hahahahaha

Is this for real?

If so, I'm surprised KD was picked to star in a movie faster than Dwight Howard. D12 hasn't been in any movies, has he?

I enjoyed Rick Fox on Oz. Although, I doubt Oz is the direction KD is looking to go...

Kareem Abdul Jabbar was pretty cool in that Bruce Lee movie.

I put my script on the Bolts thread by mistake, but it's kind of based on Song of Roland, only more of a musical based on Basque folk music and a basketball finale thrown in. Also the "reluctant hero" motiff.

At least it's less derivative than the "Magic Basketball transfers athletic ability" thing.

Norman Bird arrives in the rural Oklahoma town of Dickory Dock to be a high school teacher and basketball coach. He had lost a previous coaching position after striking a student, so is under pressure to succeed.
Like much of the state, Dickory Dock's community is passionate about basketball.

People are aware that the best player in town, Kevin Durwood, does not intend to play on this season's team. A prominent faculty member warns the new coach not to try to persuade Kevin to change his mind; she believes he needs to focus on school work in order to get a scholarship to attend college and have a better future.

The school enrollment is so small that Bird has only a few players on his squad. But, when his strict rules are disobeyed, he dismisses a key member from the team. The coach alienates the community with a slow, unimaginative offensive style featuring too many one on one moves that does not immediately produce results and by losing his temper, which causes him to be ejected from more than one game. Bird needs a new assistant coach and invites knowledgeable basketball fan McGavin, the alcoholic father of one of his players, to join him on the bench. This, too, confounds the town, including McGavin's son.

By the middle of the season, an emergency town meeting is called to vote on whether Bird should be dismissed. The schoolboard appreciates the coach's staying away from Durwood and sides with him, but the town votes him out. At the last minute, Durwood asks permission to speak: he says he's ready to begin playing basketball again, but only if Bird remains as coach.

From this point, Dickory Dock becomes an unstoppable team. Despite a setback in which McGavin arrives drunk to a game and ends up in a hospital, the team advances through tournament play, with contributions from unsung players, such as the pint-sized Nate and devoutly religious Ken Perk.

Dickory Dock shocks the state by reaching the state championship game. In a large arena and before a crowd bigger than any they've seen, the Dickory Dock players face long odds to defeat a team from Tulsa, whose players are taller and more athletic. But with Durwood scoring at the last second, tiny Dickory Dock takes home the 1952 Oklahoma state championship.

That's Hangover 3 idea is pretty funny. Nate Robinson could make a brief appearance before he gets arrested for peeing in public, possibly on a cop car.

Durant quits basketball out of frustation from a 3rd finals appearance and the third time he missed the last shot taking a 35 ft fadeaway 3 while being triple teamed. He's pissed at his coach (brott Scooks) and his friend/teammate (Wessell Russbrook). He retreats to rural Oklahoma to be alone. The locals who are wary at first, befriend him and teach him how to noodle. Through the magic and therapeutic power of noodling the locals help him to find himself and the reason why he loved the game. KD also teaches the locals not to be such rednecks. The alternative ending of the movie has Durant being unselfish and passing the ball to a 2nd string point guard (Maric Eaynor)who then clears everyone out and airballs the last shot of the finals. Done and done. Print it, and the kid stays in the picture.

Rick Fox was an NBA player who I thought did well as an actor for awhile.

Whatever it ends up being I think it'll be groan worthy.

@squintessential

Sorry...but I keep thinking that the subplot is that even though this kid now has all these mad skills, his point guard won't pass him the damned ball! lol

@squintessential

So basically Space Jam 2 then. That's cool - the kids will love it.

I actually have a friend who knows some people involved in this and he says the plot goes like this - "A kid who stinks at basketball gets an opportunity to shoot a half court shot during a (possibly Thunder) game. The kid misses but KD signs a ball for him that magically transfers Durant's court skills to the kid. The little guy becomes an unstoppable force with KD's powers but this little bit of magic is ruining KD's game. In the end, the kid decides to give the ball back and go back to practicing." Sounds pretty lame, but it wouldn't just star KD, I imagine if they pick OKC then the whole of the Thunder will be on screen, as well as Oklahoma City itself. But that probably all depends on the lockout too.

"The Hangover 3"...a group of friends travel to Beaumont, TX to participate in a charity basketball game....

I've been dreaming and talking about Space Jam two with KD for about a year now. actually here's a past tweet:
"Ask Chris to hit KD next time OKC come to Miami.... I wanted to be in SpaceJam 2. Take my talents to the corner to cry." #bronsmentalnotes

A group of brothers are basketball players for their high school. The oldest (KD), the middle, and the youngest. KD is the humble one, the middle the cocky one, and the youngest the innocent one. they live in a rough neighborhood, and work a job, and manage to find a way to fit in practice with work/school. Their mother is a full time working waitress, and their grandmother stays with them. Sometimes they bet money on their school games. Its Senior year for KD, and Junior for his middle brother(the main charecter), unfortunately the middle brother hangs out with the wrong crews. One day after messing a game, the middle brother is told that he is suspended for the next five games, he gets into a fight with KD, and takes off. He does something stupid, and later that night the younger brother out on a date ends up being shot down, and left paralyze. KD furious goes out for revenge but the middle brother ends up talking him out of it. The shooters are arrested, and the boys focuse on school/basketball. They join a city tournament in which college scouts will be. Their two rival schools consist of another poor school, and a rich private school have a similar group of kids joining the street tourny. They Win the tournament, and KD around the end of the year gets college offers. The middle brother finds a pretty girl, and starts going to church. But at the end the grandmother passes on from illness and thats also where the movie starts(shes like the wise person who told them whats right and wrong) , at the funeral slow melodic music that kinda gives you hope inside starts to play, and the title of the movie then screens. THE END
