Paige Bueckers is going to the big screen.
According to a story from Deadline, the Dallas Wings star is attched to star in the sports production Jess & Pearl. The film, which is being developed by Apple Original Films, will feature two women’s basketball phenoms that form a bond until fame and ruthless competition turn a friendship into a rivalry.
Bueckers will executive produce the movie while The White Lotus producer David Bernad will produce alongside Lindsay Kagawa Colas and Tommy Alter.
Bueckers is coming off a remarkable rookie season for the Wings, as the 2025 No. 1 pick was named WNBA Rookie of the Year and averaged 19.2 points, 3.9 rebounds and 5.4 assists in her debut season.
She’ll try to take her talents on the basketball court and apply them to a film as her stardom continues to grow.
