Space Jam 2- Lebron James is the real Monstar.

[Nintendoga]

Cmon and SLAM and welcome to the JAM

EXCLUSIVE: What’s up, doc? A broken nose. Ouch! After he recovers from the injury suffered in last night’s game, NBA MVP LeBron James will be ready for his close-up — with Bugs Bunny.

Broadcasting veteran Dick Ebersol‘s sons have come on board to develop the sequel to 1996 animated/live-action hit Space Jam as a starring vehicle for James, the Miami Heat Miami Heat Media Day - Miamistar who broke his nose during last night’s game against the Oklahoma City when the Thunder’s Serge Ibaka got him in the face after a dunk.

Another Space Jam film? Why not? The first film, which broke ground for Warner Bros and starred then-Chicago Bulls star Michael Jordan and a slew of other top NBA players, ended up grossing $230M worldwide for the studio and even launched a kids TV series.

charlie ebersolCharlie Ebersol, who already has a good relationship with the NFL through his NFL Characters Unite series on USA Network, is about ready to do the same with the NBA. He has been brought on to the produce the picture through his production company, The Company, from a script by his brother Willie Ebersol. The latter won an Emmy for the London Olympics. This is his first screenplay.

Jon Berg is production executive on the project at Warner Bros. I well remember when the studio produced the first one and delighted in the fact that top NBA players including Larry Bird, Patrick Ewing, Charles Barkley, Danny Ainge, Tyron “Muggsy” Bogues, Vlade Divac, Cedric Ceballos, Larry Johnson, Shawn Bradley and Paul West all did deals to be part of the film during a key basketball game between their trademark characters. The film also included sports commentators Ahmad Rashad and Jim Rome as well as NBA coach Del Harris.

This one should be equally power-charged with NBA players and beloved Warner Bros characters — a fun departure from the more serious fare Charlie Ebersol has been involved with.

Space Jam 2 marks Charlie Ebersol’s first major film deal as he is best known for unscripted TV such as The Moment, about second chances for people who are given the opportunity to reclaim their career dreams after their lives have taken an unexpected turn. Ebersol’s first film was the 2006 documentary Ithuteng: Never Stop Learning, which received wide critical acclaim and numerous humanitarian awards, such as the inaugural OneXOne Award, at the Toronto Film Festival in 2005. Seriously, what a good guy. Oprah Winfrey reportedly was so moved by his film that she donated $1.14M to the Ithuteng Trust School, an organization dedicated to the positive development and education of at-risk children in South Africa.

This is the second big sequel for Warner Bros that came to light today. The other being The Lego Movie, which they decided to move forward on in only two weeks. The Space Jam took 18 years. Hey, better late than never.

The vastly inferior Lebron James will have to save the Looney Tunes from an alien race.



How will he do it?
Will there be awful arm-stretching CGI dunking?


Will there be any more Charles Barkley?

"Space Jam? But that movie was sucke-"



Get hyped. Or else...


WORK THAT BODY WORK THAT BODY

[Winston]

The more important question is, will there be a Bill Murray? 

 

[Yoko/葉子]

Oh, the nostalgia! I need to see this!

[Indigo Rush]

 

Could we not make this any more worse than it already is?

 

LeBron James? Really?!

 

I'm actually really intrigued how they're going to pull this off...

[Jovahexeon Jax Joranvexeon]

Heh, well I liked the first one (granted I haven't seen it since my pre-teen days) so I'm game.

 

Stilll though,

WHO!? WHAT!? HOW!? WHEN!? WHY!??!

[azoo]

This is going to be the greatest film in cinematic history. Space Jam with today's technology.

This better remain as '90s as possible, I don't care what decade it is now.

I want fully traditonally animated Looney Tunes characters, no CGI. R&B and raps featuring Coolio and Goodie Mob in my credits. I want Monstars. I want loads of jokes about Daffy being incompetent. I want Snoop Dogg to rap with Quad City DJs on a remake for the theme, and I want MJ and Bill Murray to return.

I will accept no substitutions.

[JezMM]

I'd say "Who the hell is Lebron James" but I wouldn't know who Michael Jordon was if it wasn't for Space Jam anyway so...

 

 

Ugh well as long as they keep the toons as 2D animated I'll be okay with it.  If they make em CGI then fuck everything

 

 

I wonder if they'll bring back "don't ever call me *phew* doll" Lola or make her ditzy like she apparently is in the cartoons now.

[Chili Dawg]

Fuck Warner Bros. Fuck Hollywood. Fuck Lebron James. Fuck the NBA. Fuck you. Fuck me. Fucking fuck fucking fuck.

 

Termite Terrace Crew, if you guys can hear me up there, I'm super sorry that everyone here on Earth wants to shit on your legacy so much. 

[Boomer]

The Tunes are about to lose and LeBron is knocked out. Suddenly the lights go on and out comes... BILL MURRAY!

He proceeds to fuck shit up.

Make it happen!

[Celestia]

This is the happiest day of my life. They better actually go through with this, or I'll be devastated.

 

My only worry is how the Tunes'll be animated, but we'll see I guess.

[Johnny Boy]

What the fuck?! What in the actual fuck?!

*sighs* Guess this means Lola is gonna be a boring Mary Sue again. And right after the Looney Tunes show did wonders for her.

[Solkia]

I'm in it solely for the Come on and Slam remix

[Sean]

What I'm concerned about is how this will affect the Shut Up and Jam Gaiden canon

[Solkia]

I would fucking love it if they made it comically dark-toned like SUAJG.

[Soniman]

What the fuck?! What in the actual fuck?!

*sighs* Guess this means Lola is gonna be a boring Mary Sue again. And right after the Looney Tunes show did wonders for her.

 

Or OR if we're lucky they may actually use that version because that's the current mainstream version of her and not her generic Space Jam 1 self

[SweeCrue]

So, the Monstars are coming back. 

Slightly redesigned.

[Brad]

I don't understand why this is happening

 

God help us

[Nintendoga]

The Tunes are about to lose and LeBron is knocked out. Suddenly the lights go on and out comes... BILL MURRAY!

He proceeds to fuck shit up.

Make it happen!

Nah man

Tunes are just 1 point shy away from winning the game.  Everyone's too tired/ beat to try and win. Lebron gets injured and can't play anymore. All hope is lost as Bugs Bunny is about to forfeit when a hand reaches out to him

"Need a hand?"

[Sean]

Personally I think this movie will go more into detail about Michael's descent into darkness. He'll probably betray James and the Tunes at the very last moment, which would make sense considering his eagerness to join the B-Ball Removal Department.

[PaddyFancy]

This should not be a thing.

[Willsy]

I've never seen the first one, how is it?

[Blue Wisp]

Another... Space Jam?

 

 

I never thought I'd be alive for this day. 

[azoo]

To anyone saying this shouldn't be a thing, I pity you son. Out of 99 movies, Space Jam is #1.

I mean come on you got a choice between what could be a sequel that salutes classic Looney Tunes, basketball in general, urban culture, motivation and family values all in one hilariously cheesy movie... or one big absolute trainwreck. There is literally no losing in this!

Also, let us remember:

If this doesn't return I will cry. Then again, if it does, I'll cry too. This song sends shivers. ;_;

[Kevin]

If there's a bright side to this, at least it gives the Nostalgia Critic new material since he reviewed the original Space Jam.

[Gabz Girl]

Omfg this is actually happening! I used to love Space Jam as a kid but now I see it as the commercial and cheesy flick that it is.

One thing is for sure, they better do Lola right cos I don't wanna see the boring, Mary Sue version from the first movie. Oh and a remix of Come on and Slam. DO IT!
