If you've been itching to see Kobe Bryant star in his own action movie (or action short in this case), your time has arrived. Plotline: Kanye West (yes, that Kanye) wants Kobe Bryant's shoes, and he's prepared to send Danny Trejo, Bruce Willis and a squad of henchmen to get them. Robert Rodriguez directs Bryant in the new five-minute, Nike-sponsored short film, using a gritty Grindhouse-style tone reminiscent of other recent Rodriguez projects like Machete and Planet Terror. Take a look at the short, and let us know what you think…does Kobe have the charisma to be a big screen idol (remember Michael Jordan in Space Jam)? Want to see more installments of The Black Mamba?
