A bidding war has broken out in Hollywood for the rights to an upcoming movie based on LeBron James high school year, with four different studios interested in the project, according to Deadline.com.

The movie would be produced by James and his business partner Maverick Carter, along with Terence and Rachel Winter, who were recently nominated for Academy Awards for Wolf of Wall Street and Dallas Buyers Club, respectively.

James has been making lots of moves in the entertainment industry lately, getting a TV show picked up by Starz, as well as taking on a co-starring role with Kevin Hart in the upcoming feature film Ballers.

James' high school career was previously chronicled in the 2008 documentary More Than a Game:
