R&B hottie Chris Brown has taken on the role of a basketball superstar in the upcoming Screen Gems film "Phenom."
The "This Christmas" co-star plays a high school hoops legend who goes pro after the media discovers he's the illegitimate son of the NBA's best player, reports Variety. The boy and his dad are on a collision course as their teams eventually face each other on the road to the playoffs.
"Ugly Betty" actress Vanessa Williams and Henry Simmons of the CBS drama "Shark" (Is that still on?) will also star in the film. Shooting is scheduled to begin early next year. George Tillman Jr. has been tapped to produce the project along with Robert Teitel and Will Packer.
