LaKeith Stanfield to Play Dennis Rodman in 48 HOURS IN VEGAS

Oscar-nominated actor LaKeith Stanfield ("Judas and the Black Messiah", "Get Out") has signed on to star as NBA legend Dennis Rodman in Lionsgate's upcoming biopic "48 Hours in Vegas". Stanfield replaces Jonathan Majors, who had to drop out of the role following his 2023 assault conviction. Rick Famuyiwa ("The Mandalorian", "Ahsoka") will direct from his own draft of a script previously penned by Jordan VanDina.

The film is a comedy inspired by the untold story of Rodman's legendary trip to Las Vegas during the 1998 NBA Finals, just as the Rodman's Chicago Bulls are on the verge of completing their second consecutive threepeat championship in eight years.

Phil Lord & Chris Miller produce alongside Aditya Sood. Executive producers include Ari Lubet, Rodman and Lucy Kitada, with Nikki Baida serving as co-producer. Meredith Wieck and Pavan Kalidindi will oversee the project for Lionsgate, while Robert Melnik negotiated the deals on behalf of the studio.

Stanfield said the following in a statement: "I'm genuinely excited to help create an exhilarating, joyful work that both honors and thoughtfully examines the legacy of Rodman and fellow trailblazers. Those who moved to the beat of their own drum, undeterred by the obstacles placed before them, then and now."

Erin Westerman, president of Lionsgate Motion Picture Group added: "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."

New on Blu-ray: THE CELLAR (1989) - Vinegar Syndrome

BUY FROM AMAZON

Product Description: The Cashen family has just relocated from the city to a farmhouse in the middle of nowhere in Texas. Upon arrival at their new home, Willy, their young son, explores the area, befriending a Native American shaman who warns him of the powerful forces and apparent curse on their land. Meanwhile, at home, Willy senses that there's something unusual about the cellar of their home; specifically that something strange might be living down there...and unfortunately for the Cashens, it's very hungry...

An unfortunately troubled production, with director Kevin Tenney (Night of the Demons, Witchtrap) called in early on to take over directing duties, THE CELLAR is a stylish monster film playing into the folk horror of the American southwest. Starring Patrick Kilpatrick (Minority Report), Academy Award nominee, Chris Miller (Puss In Boots), Suzanne Savoy (The Upside), and veteran character actor Don Collier (Tombstone), Vinegar Syndrome presents THE CELLAR newly restored in 2K and on Blu-ray for the first time, offered in both its commonly seen theatrical cut as well as its never before seen, and vastly superior, original director's cut.

Sony Prepares JUMP STREET Female Spinoff and MEN IN BLACK Crossover Sequel

Now that Sony Pictures is under new leadership, we have some new movement on the franchise front. It seems that the studio is planning to deliver a female spinoff based on "21 Jump Street" and "22 Jump Street", while series stars Channing Tatum and Jonah Hill will continue playing the same characters in a crossover with the "Men in Black" franchise.

Honestly, at first glance, it looks crazy. However, given how Phil Lord and Chris Miller managed to turn an 1980s TV series into two awesome movies that benefited from self-awareness, maybe this can work, as well. Except that "Men in Black", despite a strong comedic tone, is pretty far from the levels of parody on display in "Jump Street". I'm not sure how the two will mesh.

Also, we don't actually have information that Lord and Miller will be involved in the making of these new movies, and they're really in demand right now with a line-up of projects that include a potential "Ghostbusters" spinoff starring Tatum and Chris Pratt that would eventually merge with Paul Feig's all-female "Ghostbusters", Warner Bros' "The Flash" movie, an animated "Spider-Man" movie for Sony, and "The LEGO Movie" sequel.

You know what ? The franchise market has grown incredibly confusing lately with all this spinoff business. Wouldn't it be better if studios would just focus on original ideas instead of trying to mash-up all these different franchises ?
