During her terrific rookie season in the WNBA, Wings forward Paige Bueckers hinted at her imminent conquest of the basketball world. Now, she appears to be setting her sights on the film world.
Bueckers will play a basketball player in the drama film Jess & Pearl, according to a Wednesday afternoon report from Justin Kroll of Variety. Per that report, Apple Original Films will release the movie, which Bueckers will also executive produce; ex-Scandal writer Zahir McGee conceived the film's premise.
