It's being called a movie, but it's really more of a longer, more creative shoe advertisement. At least that's what I'm thinking it is.

Via the OC Register, Kobe Bryant has filmed a movie in which he acts in it. (So no, this isn't a sequel to Kobe Doin' Work.) A real director is filming (Robert Rodriguez of Spy Kids , Planet Terror and Sin City fame.)

The movie, as it's being called, will be released during All-Star weekend. I don't if know if "released" means in a theater where you buy a ticket, but I assume it means that the full version will be posted on the Internet.

But this is no Kazaam. Kobe's movie is all being done as a promotion for the Zoom Kobe VI shoe and Bryant’s new “True Colors” apparel line. It's being billed like this: “The world’s best basketball player. … Biggest challenge yet. … Kobe Bryant is the Black Mamba. … A Robert Rodriguez film.”

Of course this isn't Kobe's first adventure into acting. He appeared in Call of Duty's new commercial for Black Ops recently sporting a huge grenane-launching gun. As for this film, I would assume it's just going to be a super long commercial and not actually a two-hour full-length feature film. Please don't let it be a full-length feature film.
