Lionsgate has acquired the rights to the spec script 48 Hours in Vegas, according to Deadline. The movie will be inspired by Dennis Rodman’s infamous adventures in Sin City during the 1998 NBA Finals he was actively participating in as a member of the Chicago Bulls. Phil Lord and Chris Miller are producing.
Deadline writes that the film will see Rodman paired with his “skittish assistant GM,” and that the story will “detail a budding friendship that neither one of them ever thought was possible but will end up solving both of their problems.”
Story is being updated.
