NBA shopping a 10-hour Michael Jordan documentary
- 7 years ago
The NBA and CAA (Creative Artists Agency) are shopping a 10-hour authorized documentary about Jordan.
Production has not started, but the film will mostly be about his comeback in the late ’90s (after his stint playing baseball), when he won three of his six championship rings.
The project has been pitched to ESPN, Showtime, HBO and Fox Sports, and Jordan’s reps are looking for a deal somewhere north of $20 million.
The success of ESPN’s eight-hour O.J. Simpson documentary earlier this year is said to have convinced Jordan that the time is right for his life story.
