We already know that LeBron James can do it all, but now we’re trying to figure out how on Earth he manages to find time to do everything he does.
The four-time NBA MVP is in full basketball mode by the time the regular season rolls around, but during the offseason it’s an entirely different story. This past year alone we saw him land production deals with HBO and SHOWTIME Sports, lend his voice to Warner Bros.’ 'Smallfoot', and even helped with 'Space Jam 2', and now he’s working on bringing another one of his favourite films back to life.
According to The Hollywood Reporter, James’ SpringHill Entertainment and Vertigo Entertainment, the company responsible for the reboot of ‘IT’, are currently in talks to team up to produce a brand new version of 'Friday the 13th'.
Vertigo Entertainment is also responsible for other horror films such as 'The Ring', 'The Strangers', 'The Grudge', so they know a thing or two about producing horror films and recreating some old classics. According to Variety, Victor Miller, who wrote the original 'Friday the 13th', recently regained the rights to the film and the timing is perfect with the recent success of the 'Halloween' remake. While the project is still in the early development, it is believed that Warner Bros. will land the film, considering they produced the 'Friday the 13th' installment in 2009.
