Kevin Durant’s new movie is called Switch. Durant is cast as himself and it’s set to come out in 2012.  Check some of the details after the jump…

The director is John Whitesell who has directed such films as Malibu’s Most Wanted, Big Momma’s House 2 and a bunch of TV episodes of “The Cosby’s,” “Law and Order,” “Blossom” and “Coach.”

The writers are Eric Champnella (Eddie, Mr. 3000) and Jeff Farley, who this is his first screenplay. The movie’s budget is just $7,000,000 and is being produced by Warner Bros. If you’ll recall, there was a chance it was going to be in Oklahoma City, but because of financing and tax break details, it’ll be primarily shot in Baton Rouge.

What is Switch about?
Via this casting site, here’s a synopsis for Durant’s movie: “In a magical twist, Kevin Durant switches all of his basketball-playing skills with an enthusiastic young fan who becomes the star of his high school team… and leaving Durant and the Thunder helpless. With the playoffs approaching, they need to discover what it is that brought them together before the early end to the Thunder’s season.” I know what everyone’s thinking: Sounds like a movie that Russell Westbrook should watch, amirite?)

It’s set to start filming late in September.
