HBO to film Bonds expose
From the Associated Press
HBO Films is planning to turn a bestselling book about Barry Bonds’ alleged steroid use and the federal government’s wide-ranging probe into performance-enhancing drug use in sports into a movie, one of the book’s authors said Thursday.
Lance Williams, a reporter at the San Francisco Chronicle, said that Ron Shelton has been tapped to direct the flick and will co-write the script with “Tin Cup” partner John Norville once the Hollywood writers strike is settled.
The project, based on the book “Game of Shadows,” was first reported by Variety.
