KEY POINTS:
James Gandolfini will follow up his role as fictitious mobster Tony Soprano by playing real-life corporate sports scout Sonny Vaccaro in an HBO film.
The movie, called ABCD Camp, is a drama about the youth basketball camp established by Vaccaro, who is also known as the man who got Michael Jordan to sign the first million-dollar shoe deal at Nike.
HBO spokeswoman Angela Tarantino confirmed the project - first reported by Variety - is in development with HBO Films. Gandolfini is also working on a documentary for HBO, Alive Day Memories: Home from Iraq, in which he interviews US veterans from the Iraq war.
