There is no doubt about that Jam NBA is one of the most popular sports games of all time. The classic arcade game that caused a stir in the 90’s continued to remain relevant over the years due to its killer gameplay, iconic lists and amazing slogans. And now, a new film about the game is ready to appear in the future.
Reported by Variety, a new documentary in question Jam NBA is now in the works. The film will be based on Reyen Ali’s book, which deals with the game. BestCrosses Studios is attached to produce the film, while Sean Menard, who has produced sports documentaries in the past, will be the director.
As for what the documentary will achieve, it should focus on the creation of the game and grow in popularity. The book that the film is based on interviews with a variety of people who helped work on the original game. It also included the thoughts of NBA players, longtime fans and others who love the game. It is obvious that the documentary will make many of these people return to talk to the camera this time.
When it comes to what the film director has in mind for the project, he wants to focus not only on how Jam NBA it became a massive success, but also the way the game’s developer would stop later. “Our film is more than an original story about the most successful sports game of all time,” Menard told Variety. “There are various sub-plots that detail how the games went from arcade to home entertainment and how it would eventually lead to Midway’s death.”
For now, that Jam NBA the film does not have an announced release date. Given that production seems to be starting now, it should be a year or two before we see how it gets formal. However, it will be an interesting project to follow in the future.
