Sports broadcasting phenom Dick Ebersol‘s sons Charlie and Willie plan to work together to produce the movie and write the screenplay with Warner Bros. exec Jon Berg, according to Deadline. But the biggest news is that the Ebersol brothers have their eyes on LeBron to be the star of the unexpected sequel.
