| Quote: | The life of Australian basketballer Matthew Dellavedova, who rose from rural Victoria to play in Wednesday's NBA finals, is being turned into a Hollywood production.
The fictional story, based on Dellavedova's rise, will follow the tale of three young Australian basketballers who are drafted to play basketball for a US college.
Role Models executive producer Jason Shuman has signed on to the project, which is being called Final Four, while The Bodhi Tree's Robert 'Bobby' Galinsky will act as screenwriter and executive producer.
Galinsky said the work would either be made into a feature film or a Friday Night Lights-style series.
The idea was concieved three years ago by young Werribee actor Josh Howlett, who was inspired by Dellavedova's story after he was plucked from the Australian Institute of Sport to play US college basketball.
"The project is inspired by the real guys who went to Saint Mary's College in San Francisco to play basketball.
"It won't be Matthew's life story or autobiography, but will be inspired by his exploits in Melbourne and overseas, and we're meeting with his management in the next couple of weeks," Galinsky said. |

They injure people and then disappear when they are needed the most!
