Gus Van Sant's Sean Connery-led Finding Forrester is getting an NBC reboot from Steph Curry
-
The 2000 film starred Rob Brown as a high school basketball star and gifted writer who lands a scholarship to a prestigious private high school and befriends a reclusive Scottish writer played by Connery. The reboot, from The Chi writers TJ Brady and Rasheed Newson, changes up the mentor character. "The series examines the cost of success and the price of redemption through the unique bond between two gifted black writers: a homeless 16-year-old orphan who leverages his basketball skills to hustle his way into an ultra-competitive elite boarding school and a reclusive lesbian author whose career was ruined by a public scandal," according to Deadline. NBA star Curry will serve as an executive producer along with Ride Along director Tim Story.
