Kevin Connolly Hopes to Direct Kimbo Slice Life Story
Quote:
Kevin Connolly hopes to follow up the final season of "Entourage" by producing and directing a movie about mixed martial artist Kimbo Slice.

"I'm trying to get the Kimbo Slice story made," Connolly told TheWrap. "I have his life rights, we have a script that's great. It's out and about, and the powers that be are trying to put the money together."

Connolly hopes the Ultimate Fighting Championship star and occasional actor (left) will play himself in the film. Slice was a bodyguard for a Miami-based porn company when he began holding backyard fights and posting them online.

"Kimbo Slice is known as one of the first YouTube celebrities," Connolly said. "He was the first person I ever sat in front of a computer and typed somebody's name into YouTube. His fights ended up on the internet, his backyard fights, and he all of the sudden... became this celebrity."

Connolly said Slice's life story isn't just about mixed martial arts or ultimate fighting, but about his unlikely road to success, including at one point living out of his car. Slice, born Kevin Ferguson, sat down with a screenwriter to share details of his life.

Why can't Kimbo just go away.

I really hope they don't try to show some kind of "rise" to the big leagues like he made it. He got his chance and made it to the UFC, but was exposed by real athletes with real training. Who will play Bas?

The line "I have his life rights" sounds so wrong...

I bet it's a very interesting story anyways, even if he ended up being a flop as a professional fighter.

I agree IceCold, if done right this could be a great flick.

His life story could definitely make an entertaining movie. Let's just hope a real actor like Mr. T or Rampage Jackson take the role instead of having Kimbo play himself.

A film about Kimbo Slice? LMFAAAOOOO

The guy already received waaay more attention than he deserved, he failed as a MMA fighter, he has not done anything since May of 2010 and now they are going to do a movie about him? LOL

Who is he talking about? Kimbo is not a UFC star and as far as I know he is not an actor either. I donīt know if he participated in the porn movies though.

A film about Kimbo Slice hahahahaha, what is next? A documentary about the glorious MMA career of Jose Canseco?
