Dennis Rodman's visit to North Korea will be made into a movie soon, the Hollywood Reporter reported Sunday.
The article said 20th Century Fox has reportedly bought the rights to a comedy pitch titled "Diplomats" based on the former basketball player's time in North Korea.
"Ride Along" Tim Story has signed on to direct, "The Heat" Peter Chernin will produce the movie and Jonathan Abrams will write the script.
Rodman's random visit to North Korea and close relationship with the young North Korean Kim Jong-un has caused controversy.
Last January, Rodman and several other former NBA players visited North Korea to take part in a basketball game on the birthday of the dictator.
