Does “Shooting Stars” have movie potential?
BB: You never know in the world of movies. I’ve dealt in the world of movies pretty extensively, and you never quite know what’s going to turn them on. “Friday Night Lights” took 14 years to be made, and some people said, “Hey, you’re lucky. Some movies take 25 years to get made.” This certainly is a story ultimately of great beauty and poetry and inspiration. I think it’s got great characters in the kids, including LeBron. I think it has a tremendous role model in coach Dru Joyce, who is really exceptional as a coach and exceptional as a man. I can see this laying out as a beautiful film. Now, whether Hollywood thinks that … who the heck knows what they’re thinking? JC: Since we’ve come back around to “Friday Night Lights,” I have to ask if you’re a regular watcher of the TV show. BB: No, I don’t watch it regularly. When I’ve seen it, I think it’s terrific. I probably don’t watch it because I’m “Friday Night Light”ed out. I get close to 10 to 15 e-mails or letters about it a month. JC
