Media companies are "circling a documentary series" about Magic Johnson that has been "billed as Johnson’s version of 'The Last Dance.'" Submarine Entertainment is "shopping the rights." Rick Famuyiwa is the doc's director. Peacock reportedly is "in the lead with an offer of about $25 million, but neither Peacock nor Submarine had any comment." Should Peacock close the deal, it "would be the latest in a series of big movies designed to signal Comcast’s growing commitment to the streaming service" (BLOOMBERG NEWS, 8/1).
