Now, there's a new movie in the works about Bryant, and there's even a script. But it focuses on a lesser-known moment in the late basketball star's life. The script has been described as a cross between the movies Air and Moneyball, according to Variety, which revealed that Warner Bros. has obtained the spec script.

Currently titled “With the 8th Pick,” the movie will focus on Kobe Bryant’s journey to the NBA that began with the 1996 draft.

Kobe Bryant would have turned 47 years old this year. Sadly, he passed away tragically in January 2020 at the age of 41. On his birthday, the news that a biopic is in the works for the Los Angeles Lakers legend made fans happy.
