Ever wanted to see Kobe Bryant take on a league of snarling players on a basketball court made of fire? Soon, you can.

Bryant and Kanye West are set to appear in a Robert Rodriguez-directed “film” made for Nike Basketball. “The Black Mamba,” set to premiere Feb. 19 during NBA All-Star Weekend, features Kanye West as a shoe-stealing mastermind with Danny Trejo and Bruce Willis as his minions.

Rodriguez is known for his over-the-top action style, seen in his recent films Sin City and Machete.
