EXCLUSIVE: MindRiot Entertainment, the transatlantic indie behind Danielle Deadwyler’s Parallel, and the upcoming OceanGate pic Salvaged is moving into production on Trash Talk, a docuseries about NBA Hall-Of-Famer Gary Payton.
Filmmaker Scott Waugh (Expendables 4, Hidden Strike) will direct the series. Cameras are set to officially begin rolling Thursday in Nashville, Tennessee, where Payton will make an appearance at the AMA Supercross Championship.
Specific details on the series and its focus are currently under wraps, but MindRiot COO Randa Minkarah told Deadline that audiences “will get to see Payton aka “The Glove” — whose legendary athletic grit and tongue was showcased on Netflix’s The Last Dance – talk trash while on horseback with rodeo cowboys, fly fishing with producer John Dietsch (A River Runs Through It), and maybe even go head to head selling cookies with a bad-ass troupe of kids.” MindRiot founder Jonathan Keasey and the company’s Head of Sports Content, Steven Banks Jr, told us they first cooked up the idea for the series during last year’s WGA strike when they were unable to work on fiction projects.
Banks Jr said Trash Talk will be “tonally comedic and educational as it’s a crossover between sports and culture where often overlooked competitions will bask in a shared light with a competitive spirit which aims to unite, as opposed to divide, in such globally fractured times.” Payton, a nine-time NBA All-Star and nine-time All-Defensive First Team member played 17 years in the league, with stints in Boston, Milwaukee, LA with the Lakers, and the Seattle SuperSonics, where he began his career and largely made his name as a defense-minded point guard.
