Summary

  • Warner Bros. is developing a new film on Kobe Bryant.
  • The movie, titled With the 8th Pick, is a sports thriller centered around the 1996 NBA Draft
  • It’s a fresh take, avoiding the traditional biopic format

Warner Bros. has acquired the rights to an ambitious new feature film centered on NBA legend Kobe Bryant, but it’s not a traditional biopic. Titled With the 8th Pick, the film will explore the behind-the-scenes drama of the two weeks leading up to the 1996 NBA Draft. The screenplay, which has been compared to cinematic thrillers like Moneyball and Air, focuses on the moment that nearly changed basketball history.

The film’s plot centers on the New Jersey Nets, who held the eighth pick and were on the verge of drafting the teenage phenom. It explores the internal struggles of Nets’ general manager John Nash and coach John Calipari, who were a single decision away from landing Bryant. The film will showcase the high-stakes world of basketball drafting, where financial limitations and marketing considerations influenced a decision that ultimately led to the Nets passing on Bryant.

This film, written by Alex Sohn and Gavin Johannsen, is being produced by Tim and Trevor White, the team behind the Oscar-winning film King Richard. While the project is still in early development with no director or cast attached, its focus on a single pivotal moment in Bryant’s career is a fresh take. By avoiding a traditional biopic format, the movie is set to attract not only basketball fans but also a general audience interested in high-stakes drama. It’s a fitting tribute to one of the greatest athletes of all time, exploring the pivotal moment that set him on a path to legendary status with the Los Angeles Lakers.
