Dennis Rodman’s Infamous ‘48 Hours in Vegas’ to Get Feature Treatment From Lord Miller for Lionsgate
Dennis Rodman’s infamous 48-hour bender in Las Vegas during the 1998 NBA Finals is set to become a feature film from Lionsgate and Lord Miller.
Rodman, then a star player for the Chicago Bulls, asked his coach Phil Jackson if he could take a 48-hour vacation in Las Vegas in the middle of the NBA Finals against the Utah Jazz.

While Rodman and his teammate Michael Jordan detailed these events in the ESPN docuseries “The Last Dance,” the movie will take its own path with the story.
“48 Hours in Vegas” will follow Rodman on his journey, as the player and his anxious assistant Gm develop an unexpected friendship amid the player’s Sin City revelry.
Phil Lord, Chris Miller and Aditya Sood will produce for Lord Miller,...
