There are a lot of Adam Sandler comedies on the internet. Many of his fellow stars did not sign a development deal until after he did. In this summer's movie, he is making a rare detour into drama with Hustle, which he produced and starred in.
Stanley Sugerman is an international talent scout for the Philadelphia 76ers. It is a dead-end job for someone who wants to become an NBA coach. Bo Cruz is the prospect of a lifetime until Stanley comes across it. Bo is portrayed by a Utah Jazz player.
Bo's natural talent for the game isn't enough to get him in the league according to the first trailer for Hustle. If Stanley wants to move to the next level, he will have to defy his boss and train himself for the ultimate shot at NBA stardom.
The official description from the company is here.
After discovering a once-in-a-lifetime player with a rocky past abroad, a down on his luck basketball scout takes it upon himself to bring the player to the States without his team's approval. They have one last chance to prove they have what it takes to make it in the NBA.
The film features Queen Latifah, Ben Foster, Robert Duvall, Jordan Hull, and María Botto. The movie features NBA players as well. Julius is an NBA legend and also has a role.
The script for Hustle was written by Taylor Materne and Will Fetters. It will premiere on June 10.
