Jonathan Majors has lost a buzzy upcoming film role after his recent assault conviction.
The actor will no longer be
playing controversial basketball player Dennis Rodman in a film with the working title “48 Hours In Vegas,”
Variety has confirmed. CNN first reported the news.
The film is set to document the true story of the Bulls’ power forward’s notorious trip to Las Vegas in the middle of the 1998 NBA Finals.
Lionsgate is also no longer involved with the project, as the studio released it back to the producers to find a new partner to produce the film. Phil Lord, Chris Miller and Aditya Sood will produce for Lord Miller, and Ari Lubet, Will Allegra and Rodman will executive produce. Jordan VanDina (Hulu’s “The Binge”) will write the screenplay.
