Spike Lee Gives Kobe Bryant Starring Role in New Documentary

Kobe Bryant’s antics on the basketball court are getting the big screen treatment as Spike Lee’s prepares to premiere his new documentary, Kobe Doin’ Work, at the 2009 Tribeca Film Festival.

The ESPN Films production, which features a score by Bruce Hornsby, was shot during last year's NBA playoffs when Lee and cinematographer Matthew Libatique spent a day with Bryant.

According to the Hollywood Reporter, Kobe Doin’ Work will be shown April 25 as the gala entry in the festival’s Tribeca/ESPN Sports Film Festival sidebar.

The Tribeca/ESPN Sports Film Festival highlights independent films about sports and competition. Other films featured in the event include Jonathan Hock's Lost Son of Havana, Eric Bana's Love the Beast, Erez Tadmor and Sharon Maymon's A Matter of Size (Sipur Gadol), Marshall Curry's Racing Dreams, Carlos Cuaron's Rudo y Cursi, Mans Herngren's The Swimsuit Issue (Allt flyter) and Liz Mermin's Team Qatar.

Those who can’t make the festival can catch Kobe Doin’ Work when it airs May 16 on ESPN. After Kobe’s extra-marital past, should the title of the film be considered a sequel?
