Dwight Howard has 'Amazing' acting in Shanghai
0 
NBA star Dwight Howard has joined Chinese actors in a basketball-inspired film named "Amazing" ("Shen Qi") in Shanghai.
But instead of showing off his skills in a basketball court, the Orlando Magic center was seen acting against a green screen backdrop during a recent media visit to the set.
When asked how he felt about his China trip, Howard used "Amazing", the name of the movie to describe his experience.
Chinese acting stars, including Huang Xiaoming and Huang Yi, take the lead roles in the film about a group of basketball fanatics challenging themselves with the sport.
The film will feature several other NBA players in cameo roles. Yao Ming, Carmelo Anthony and the retired Earvin "Magic" Johnson will join in the movie.
The Shanghai Film Group Corporation and the NBA are co-producing the film, and are planning a 2011 release.
