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.


로드맨 방북, 할리우드 코미디영화화 예정

미국 영화사 20세기 폭스가 전 프로농구 스타 데니스 로드맨을 소재로 코미디 영화 제작을 한다고 미국 연예전문지 '할리우드 리포터'가 보도했다.

20세기 폭스는 이른바 '농구외교'를 내세운 로드맨의 기행을 모티브로 한 코미디 '외교관들'을 영화화할 권한을 사들였다.

올해 미국에서 개봉한 액션 코미디 영화 '라이드 어롱'을 연출한 팀 스토리 감독이 메가폰을 잡을 것이다. 또한 산드라 불럭 주연의 '더 히트'를 만든 피터 처닌이 제작자로 나설 것이며 조나단 아브람스가 영화 대본을 쓸 예정이다.

로드먼은 잦은 방북과 김정은과의 친분으로 전 세계적으로 논란이 됐다.

지난 1월에는 로드맨과 7명의 전직 NBA선수들이 김정은 생일 기념 농구게임에 참가하기 위해 방북했다.
