Adam Yauch, the salt and pepper haired Beastie Boy, is expanding his creative horizons into documentary filmmaking.  Perhaps learning from his own fans via Awesome! I Fucking Shot That, Yauch directed a doc about material he knows best: a white person trying to succeed in an African-American-dominated field.  Instead of the hip-hop world, Yauch is turning his lense toward UCLA center Kevin Love, who is expected to go high in the NBA draft next month.

From the look of the trailer, this ain't no Hoop Dreams, but it will feature a new Beasties track.  

From The Playlist:

Beastie Boy Adam Yauch's basketball documentary, "Hoop Dreams PT. 2" , errr... "Gunnin' For That #1 Spot'" will hit select theaters on June 27 — one day after the draft. The soundtrack will feature tracks by  Jay-Z, the Notorious B.I.G., Nas, Lil Wayne and — you guessed it — the Beastie Boys (a new track recorded for the film, titled "Bass Line Is Nice").

"The original idea was to shoot the movie, edit it in, like, three months, and actually try and have it done at the beginning of 2007, but editing never works like that," [Yauch] told MTV. "Once you get into [post-production], it always goes slowly and it's more complicated. It kinda got to a point when I was a year into it when I thought, 'Man, if we can finish it by June, it'll be done when these guys are eligible for the draft.' And then we really started cranking on it and trying to get it down for now."
 

Now, if we can just get my fellow members of the tribe back in the studio and put out a proper Beasties album, something I haven't seen since 1997.  And no more of this instrumental shit.

"Gunnin'" hits theaters on June 27.
