Derek Jeter could go from baseball star … to movie star … because a VERY famous director says the “sh*tshow” Jeter’s created with the Miami Marlins would make for a great Hollywood flick!!!
We got Billy Corben (the guy behind the 2006 hit “Cocaine Cowboys”) in New York promoting his new documentary, “Screwball” — which is all about Alex Rodriguez and the Biogenesis steroid scandal.
And, since his new flick is getting solid reviews on Rotten Tomatoes from top critics … we asked Corben if there are any OTHER sports stories he’d consider turning into a movie.
“How about a story about Jeter and the Marlins,” Corben said … “Talk about a Miami sh*tshow!”
He’s right … the Marlins have been a DISASTER — and even though Jeter’s only been CEO for a year, things in Miami are lookin’ grim.
In 2018, the Marlins placed dead last in MLB for attendance and most experts are predicting the team to be terrible on the field … since they really have no stars.
Corben says the situation with the Marlins is the stuff great movies are made of — so it could just be a matter of time before Jeter follows A-Rod to the big screen.
As for “Screwball,” Corben says he thinks Alex will actually enjoy the flick because he thinks the guy has a sense of humor about the situation.
Oh, and if you’re wondering why Corben used children to play the main characters in the story … his explanation is pretty funny too.
