Space Jam: A New Legacy

[AlexanderMBush]

I am not going to say much, but it has been officially announced that a sequel to the 90s Loony Tunes film, Space Jam will be made.

The film will have Lebron James taking the shoes that Michael Jordan had to endure, as the film will be directed by Justin Lin.

...so, thoughts?

Edit: can a mod take out that C I have on the title name?

 

[captainmoch]

You know what? I'm excited. The original is a guilty pleasure for me.

Good. Let this monstrosity die and let Justin Lin direct something better.

I think they are likely still talking a contract. The fact that Lebron's entertainment company (Springhill Entertainment) signed a deal with WB last year makes me think it's all the more likely.

Come on and slam

 

[MrRoamer]

And welcome to the jam!

Just weird that this is coming out during LeBron's playoff run. He's known to completely shutout outside influences during that time.

Also that this project was coming around when he was the top man with the Heat and winning titles and MVP's. That time now belongs to Curry.

Remember that Space Jam didn't just have Jordan in it. A retired Larry Bird, Barkley and more were in it. I'm thinking maybe Kobe as the retired player and then possible players like Steph Curry, Cousins, Westbrook, Durant, etc.

Yeah. But Jordan was THE guy when it came out. I'm saying LeBron isn't anymore.

The sequel to the 1990's cult classic, Space Jam; has been officially revealed, featuring LeBron James.



The film will be directed by Terence Nance & Produced by Ryan Coogler (Creed, Black Panther), as production will begin in the NBA Offseason.

What do you think? Did you like the original film, and what do you hope to see pop up? Comment down below!

Amazing, I loved the first one and I feel Lebron can do a great job in this movie.

 

[Nick]

Hey, if Uncle Drew can make over $40M with little buzz, SJ2 may put up some pretty big numbers, especially for a basketball movie.

 

[ChrisFL]

I'm hoping MJ makes a cameo at least

 

[hishedale]

I am ready.

Could be seen as conflict of interest given that MJ is the owner of the hornets, no?

Otherwise, I don’t see how they make the movie without him in it at least for a short appearance.

 

[Disneyhead]

Wait, I thought it was a generally accepted fact that Space Jam was God awful.

I think it's accepted that it is traditionally "bad", yet enjoyable. Not quite so bad it's good like the room, but so cheesy it's lovable. Like old workout tapes.

 

[Legacy]

I’m here for the MonStars stealing the abilities of all of Lebron’s old teammates. Have them take D-Wade, Kevin Love...

Plus Kobe.
