'Entourage' director wants to direct Kimbo Slice's life story

Kevin Connolly hopes to follow up the final season of "Entourage" by producing and directing a movie about mixed martial artist Kimbo Slice.
"I'm trying to get the Kimbo Slice story made," Connolly told TheWrap. "I have his life rights, we have a script that's great. It's out and about, and the powers that be are trying to put the money together."

Connolly hopes the Ultimate Fighting Championship star and occasional actor (left) will play himself in the film. Slice was a bodyguard for a Miami-based porn company when he began holding backyard fights and posting them online.
"Kimbo Slice is known as one of the first YouTube celebrities," Connolly said. "He was the first person I ever sat in front of a computer and typed somebody's name into YouTube. His fights ended up on the internet, his backyard fights, and he all of the sudden... became this celebrity."
