Some individuals say that what occurs in Vegas stays in Vegas, however what should you make a film about it? Lionsgate doesn’t need to preserve audiences at midnight. Actually, it needs to convey us into the recent, flashing lights of the Vegas strip for an unforgettable (and presumably true) journey that might make Hunter S. Thompson blush. Based on Lionsgate, LaKeith Stanfield (Roofman, Get Out, Play Soiled) is about to star in 48 Hours in Vegas for director Rick Famuyiwa (Dope, The Mandalorian, We Will Be Monsters). The position of Rodman was beforehand reserved for Jonathan Majors, however Stanfield is now stepping onto the court docket.
What’s 48 Hours in Vegas about?
The movie is impressed by the untold story of Dennis Rodman’s legendary journey to Las Vegas through the 1998 NBA Finals—simply because the Rodman-led Chicago Bulls are on the verge of finishing their second consecutive three-peat championship in eight years. Based on the movie’s official description, courtesy of Lionsgate, 48 Hours in Vegas will take audiences by two whirlwind days in Sin Metropolis and Rodman’s madcap (presumably true) adventures.
48 Hours in Vegas shall be produced by Lord Miller’s Phil Lord, Chris Miller, and Aditya Sood. Famuyiwa will write the subsequent draft of the screenplay, which Jordan VanDina wrote. Ari Lubet, Dennis Rodman, and Lucy Kitada will government produce. Nikki Baida will co-produce.
Lionsgate president on Dennis Rodman as an icon
Erin Westerman, president, Lionsgate Movement Image Group, mentioned, “Dennis Rodman is more than a basketball player, more than a personality—he’s an entire cultural phenomenon. His bold style and physical presence, combined with an iconic persona, created a larger-than-life impact on and off the court. There’ll never be another like him. LaKeith and the incredibly talented team on this film will bring the legend to life in this most extraordinarily unbelievable story.”
Again in his heyday, you couldn’t activate sports-related information with out seeing Dennis Rodman’s multicolored hair streaking throughout the court docket. Powered by Gatorade, confidence, and a burning want to make his mark within the NBA, Rodman is a character not like some other, and I can’t start to think about what he received as much as in Las Vegas that warrants a movie manufacturing with LaKeith Stanfield within the lead. I’ve received a sense that we’re in for a wild experience.
