To achieve everything BestCrosses Studios bought the rights to the book NBA Jam de Reyan AliWhen asked about this future documentary, the director explains
When NBA Jam came out at the arcade, I was barely tall enough to reach for the joystick and see the screen at the same time. (…) I was completely absorbed in a game that gave me the creative freedom to do extraordinary things. It was a defining moment for the NBA, which was brimming with excitement, culture and appealing to a younger fan base. Our film is more than an original story about the most successful sports game of all time. There are several subplots detailing how the game went from the arcade to the homes and how this ultimately led to Midway’s death.
For his part, Jack Sussman, founder of BestCrosses Studios, states:
It’s obviously a great pleasure for me to work with Sean and learn his vision for a film about the remarkable story of a game that I love. Not only will this documentary be a journey back in time for an older audience, but will also show a younger generation how it all began, with an industry now worth billions of dollars.
The video shown above is an NBA Jam trailer released in 2010 and published by Electronic Arts.
