As most of you guys know, I HATE it when non-actors get major roles in movies. Sorry, but I’ll take a guy who has been training in acting most of his life, has done stage work and practiced his craft and put in his hours developing his chops over a frigging rapper/sports star/country singer any dam day of the week.
With that being said, like with every thing in life there are some exceptions… and this MIGHT be one of them.
Hollywood mega-producer Brian Grazer is taking as he’s cast basketball superstar Lebron James in his new project “Fantasy Basketball Camp”.
But here’s the thing… James will be playing… HIMSELF in the movie.
The movie, a comedy, will be about 3 guys going to Las Vegas (it already sounds like “The Hangover”) to participate in a celebrity adult basketball camp being run by their hero, Lebron James. However, Lebron gets pulled into the different issues the three guys hare having with their lives.
Sounds like more of an idea for a SNL skit, but whatever. If James is just playing himself… then it could be ok. What do you think? (source: Screencrave)
