NBA star reveals the secret of the damned hotel
After five-time National Basketball Association (NBA) champion Kobe Bryant won an Oscar for producing the animated short Dear Basketball, the orange ball stars took to the movie screens with renewed vigor. Within a few months, Warner Bros. will begin filming the long-awaited sequel to "Space Jam", in which the legendary Michael Jordan will be replaced by the leader of the Los Angeles Lakers club LeBron James. Today it became known that work on another interesting film project with the participation of an active basketball player has begun to boil in Hollywood.Boston Celtics player Kyrie Irving has signed up for the yet unnamed horror film Imagine Entertainment, which will tell viewers about the supernatural inhabitants of the mysterious Oklahoma Skirvin Hotel. The winner of the NBA championship ring made his big-screen debut last year, starring in the comedy "Uncle Drew". The picture received good reviews in the press and successfully paid off its $ 18 million budget. This time Irving intends not only to show off his acting skills, but also to try his hand at being a producer. The details of the horror story are still kept secret. Insiders claim that it will be based in part on Kairi's personal experience, who has stayed at the damn hotel a couple of times during his teams' away matches.  The Skirvin Hotel was opened back in 1911. A popular urban legend claims that it has been under the control of otherworldly forces since the 1930s. It was then that the owner of the hotel had an affair with a maid named Effie. When the girl became pregnant, the businessman did not think of a better way to keep this news a secret than to lock Effie on the tenth floor of the building. In the end, it all ended with the maid going mad and throwing herself out of the window with the newborn baby. Since then, many hotel guests have begun to complain that voices are heard in their rooms. A few years ago, this chilling story was made public by the NBA players. First, the New York Knicks moved to Skirvin. After the defeat to the local club, several New York basketball players announced to reporters that the reason for their unsuccessful game was a sleepless night in a creepy hotel. Some time later, the situation repeated itself when the Chicago Bulls players visited Oklahoma. Chicagoans claimed that they not only felt the presence of representatives of the afterlife, but with their own eyes saw how doors in their rooms spontaneously opened and closed.  The Players' Tribune media platform will soon publish a major investigative journalism on the unexplained phenomena at the Oklahoma hotel. It is expected that this material will form the basis of the film's plot. Kairi Irving will be accompanied by Bobby Cohen (Illusion of Deception) and Academy Award winner Brian Grazer (A Beautiful Mind) as horror producers.
