Lord and Miller to bring their magic touch to Dennis Rodman’s 48 Hours In Vegas
Lord and Miller will produce the movie about Dennis Rodman’s infamous sojourn to Sin City during the 1998 NBA championships
With credits that include 21 Jump Street and The Lego Movie, the filmmaking duo Phil Lord and Chris Miller prove time and again that almost anything can be a movie. And while we can’t explicitly blame them for the scene in Solo in which Han gets his name, we can soon blame them for the upcoming film about Dennis Rodman’s infamous Las Vegas layover during the 1998 NBA finals. 48 Hours In Vegas will follow the Worm as he takes his “skittish assistant GM” to Sin City as the Chicago Bulls edge toward their second threepeat. Honestly, it sounds like Get Him To The Greek, a movie that feels like Lord and Miller did an uncredited polish on, even though, as far as we can tell, they did not.
“Dennis refused to follow the herd,” said Lord and Miller said in a statement. “That is what made him a target and it’s also what made him a star. His weekend in Las Vegas is full of fun and hijinks but it is also full of important questions about the way public figures, and workers are treated, especially when their individuality is expressed so vividly.”
