The Zoolander star shared more details on Jalen Brunson and Josh Hart’s Roommates podcast on Wednesday. “Obviously I’ve been shooting some stuff on my phone,” he told the Knicks players, per Variety. “But it’s going to be about all eras of the Knicks, and this team obviously, there’s a culmination here, of something that’s been going on for a long time.
Stiller described the project as “super exciting,” noting, “It’s great to have had all this access to your team. We’re going to probably be shooting a little bit more during next season, and I’m going to hit you guys up for some interviews.”
“It’s going to be over the next year that we’ll be working on it,” he stated. “A lot of people have wanted to make it happen for a long time.”
Stiller will direct the series, which, according to the official description from A24, will “trace the full arc of the franchise from the ’90s to the improbable, record-breaking run that finally returned a championship to New York” and offer fans “unprecedented NBA access, never-before-seen footage and a definitive look at one of basketball’s most iconic stories.”
