From Variety comes word that Lionsgate has secured the worldwide film rights to More Than a Game, a documentary about NBA star LeBron James’ high school days in Akron, Ohio.
The film, unlike most biopic documentaries, follows the five starters on the varsity team at St. Vincent St. Mary High School, who travel a winding road from rundown gymnasium to national glory.
It will mix archival footage with family memorabilia and interviews and is being positioned as feel-good story of overcoming adversity over everything else.
A fall 2009 release is planned.
