Derek Jeter could go from baseball star ... to movie star ... because a VERY famous director says the "sh*tshow" Jeter's created with the Miami Marlins would make for a great Hollywood flick!
We got Billy Corben (the guy behind the 2006 hit "Cocaine Cowboys") in New York promoting his new movie "Screwball" -- which is all about about Alex Rodriguez and the Biogenesis steroid scandal.
And since his new flick is getting solid reviews on Rotten Tomatoes from top critics ... we asked Corben if there are any OTHER sports stories he'd consider turning into a movie.
