Tracey Edmonds Confirms 'Basketball Wives' Movie Project With Shaunie

A year ago, there was was reports that Shaunie was going to work on a movie version of her hit show Basketball Wives with Tracey Edmonds who produced the hit movie " "Jumping The Broom". Back then it was more of rumor, but now was have confirmation that a movie project is in the works. 

Tracey Edmonds did an interview with 

Essence recently and she confirms that a Basketball Wives movie is in the works. However, it won't be based on the TV show. It will be more of an uplifting type of movie.


"In all honesty, when I first started there were more opportunities for projects of color. There were at least seven distributors doing African-American films. Nowadays, it’s maybe two or three. That leaves fewer slots to get a film through and fewer opportunities to direct or produce. We are seeing the same with television. The good news is things are beginning to segue way online, which is global. A channel like Alright is reaching the entire world on YouTube and a wonderful opportunity to get positive images out to the world. There is a Jumping the Broom sequel in the works and I am also producing a Basketball Wives movie with Shaunie O’Neal. It’s not based on the show and is an uplifting story with a lot of twists".
