This week, news hit that both Shaunie O’Neal and Tracey Edmonds secured a deal to create a film, surrounded around the ‘Basketball Wives’ concept. The project will be produced by Edmonds and O’Neal will co-produce under Edmonds’ Our Stories Films Inc production company. Now what exactly will the film be about? According to the description:

Centered around a young woman who follows her boyfriend to Miami after he gets drafted into the NBA. Thrust into the world of professional sports, she meets and learns from the sisterhood of players’ wives and learns from their trials and tribulations.

Edmonds also confirmed with Variety,

“The beauty of a feature film is that we’ll have the ability to dig much deeper into the stories and characters that come from this very colorful world and create a very juicy action packed narrative.”

And on twitter, Edmonds shared more details:

The film introduces new characters w rich story lines & although juicy and action packed, it’ll empower! Entirely different project and characters. Exploring the world from a different perspective. Fantastic script and story!

So what do YOU think about ‘Basketball Wives’ the movie and will you go to the box office to see it? Or have you had enough of the franchise? [Variety, Jocks & Stilletto Jill, NB]

    nooooooooo!!!!!!!!! so tired of it!!!! who cares how these women live if all they do is change and act like they never had to struggle before they hit it big with an nba star!!!!! do something different!!!! something our young black girls can look forward to…not looking for a basketball player to help them come up and then thats all they have going for them..which keeps them content not doing anything but buying bags and shoes and eating lunch with no real conversation…and fighting other black women and degarding themselves

    Sounds like a straight to DVD movie. I will not support this BS. Good luck though. I’m all about black women making money.

    Sounds like the television series “The Game.” I agree with CocktailJay, a straight to DVD movie.

    Why not do a final Girlfriends movie with all the original cast members. Leave this BBW shit where it is.

    I don’t think there’ll be any real meat to make a compelling story. I also agree with CocktailJay, a straight to DVD movie at best and with Jizza. IF you can come up with an uplifting and compelling story line then maybe…Good luck, I think that both these ladies are good people and even better business women and I am glad to see them getting out there and trying to do something positive. Shaunie,IMO, I think you need to change the flavor of the series because it makes our women all look like thugs and catty, when we know that isn’t true. Please add more of the good things that they do and take out the negative the reason I’ve stopped watching…just sayin’
