LeBron James and his production company, SpringHill Entertainment, have another film project in the works - and this one could feature the new Los Angeles Laker in a leading role.

SpringHill and "The Boss" screenwriter Steve Mallory have sold an untitled comedy pitch to Paramount Players, according to Variety's Justin Kroll. In addition to producing the movie, Kroll notes that James is also in early talks to star in the film.

Kroll doesn't provide any details pertaining to what the movie is about, but the article's url includes the words "body-swapping comedy."

James previously starred alongside Amy Schumer and Bill Hader in the 2015 comedy "Trainwreck." He's also set to produce a revival of the 1990s comedy movie franchise "House Party."
