After 7½ years of work, director Tyree Dillihay spoke as if R&B group Tony! Toni! Tone!'s 1993 track "Anniversary" was playing in the background. But the soundtrack in his head wasn't nostalgia -- it was celebration. "Do you know what today is? It's premiere day," Dillihay told ESPN.
Dillihay and his team at Sony Pictures started working on the newest basketball animated film "GOAT" in September 2018. The project, set to hit theaters Friday, is executive-produced by Golden State Warriors star Stephen Curry, who also lends his voice to the movie alongside several notable past and present NBA and WNBA stars. The idea for the film came together shortly after Curry's production company, Unanimous Media, closed a multiyear deal with Sony Pictures Entertainment. "They were looking for something that had like an underdog spirit to it," Dillihay said.
