HBO Films is planning on turning the best selling book 'Game of Shadows' about MLB slugger Barry Bonds into a movie.

Lance Williams, a reporter at the San Francisco Chronicle, said that Ron Shelton has been tapped to direct the flick and will co-write the script with "Tin Cup" partner John Norville once the Hollywood writers strike is settled.

Williams co-wrote 'Game of Shadows' along with former Chronicle sportswriter Mark Fainuru-Wada.

The book recounts how Bonds allegedly began using steroids in 1999 after becoming jealous of Mark McGwire setting Major League Baseball's single season home run mark the previous season.
In case you are a Bonds fan who is on the fence on whether the all-time home run leader took steroids or not, reading 'Game of Shadows' will leave little doubt in your mind when you're done with it.

But the real question is, who should play Barry Bonds?

If Blair Underwood were willing to shave his head, i think he could be a close match.

Granted, nobody's head is close to being the size of Bonds.
