Jonathan Majors Dropped from Dennis Rodman Film Following Assault Conviction

Lionsgate Releases '48 Hours In Vegas' Back to Producers as Majors Faces Potential Jail Time

Jonathan Majors, convicted of assault and harassment last month, has been dropped from the upcoming film '48 Hours In Vegas' where he was set to portray NBA legend Dennis Rodman.
The film, which was to be produced by Lionsgate, has also been released back to its producers to be shopped around to other studios.
The film's plot centers on a memorable moment from the Chicago Bulls’ drive toward the 1998 NBA championship, when Rodman took a 48-hour trip to Las Vegas in the middle of the finals.
This is not the first project Majors has been dropped from following his conviction; he was also let go from his contract with Marvel Studios.
Majors' sentencing is scheduled for February 6th, and he could face up to a year in jail.
