MUSIC INSPIRED BY THE FILM MORE THAN A GAME Delivers A Superstar Line Up

MARY J. BLIGE'S 'STRONGER' LEADS THE WAY FILM DOCUMENTS RISE OF NBA STAR LEBRON JAMES

SANTA MONICA, Calif., July 27 /PRNewswire/ -- MUSIC INSPIRED BY THE FILM MORE THAN A GAME brings together an A-list line up of stellar artists. Mary J. Blige's "Stronger" is the first song to be released and is a heartfelt richly textured ballad that embodies the emotions that are revealed throughout this amazing film.

MUSIC INSPIRED BY THE FILM MORE THAN A GAME, releasing September 22nd, delivers dynamic iconic songs that reinforce the messages of strength, loyalty and friendship that is exemplified in film. It also boasts the debut single from one of today's most sought after songwriters, Ester Dean (Mary J Blige, Pussycat Dolls, Keri Hilson).

MORE THAN A GAME opens in Los Angeles, New York and Cleveland on October 2nd. Five talented young basketball players from Akron, Ohio star in this remarkable true-life coming of age story about friendship and loyalty in the face of great adversity. Coached by a charismatic but inexperienced player's father, and led by future NBA superstar LeBron James, the "Fab Five's" improbable nine-year journey leads them from a decrepit inner-city gym to the doorstep of a national high school championship. Along the way, the close-knit team is repeatedly tested -- both on and off the court -- as pressures within, including James' exploding worldwide celebrity, threaten to destroy everything they've set out to achieve together. MORE THAN A GAME, directed by Kristopher Belman, combines a series of unforgettable one-on-one interviews with rare news footage, never-before-seen home videos and personal family photographs to bring this heart-wrenching and wholly American story to life.

MORE THAN A GAME is being released by Lionsgate and Harvey Mason Media in association with Interscope Records.

MUSIC INSPIRED BY THE FILM MORE THAN A GAME will be released on Harvey Mason Music/Zone 4/Interscope Records.
