LeBron James Pictures Leak For Space Jam 2: ‘It’s A Better Movie’

BSabitt

LeBron James is all set to become the focal point of the Space Jam sequel, which is set to be released in America over the Summer. Over the past few months, pictures from the highly anticipated film have been leaked over the web. Today, some more revelations were released. Check it out.

According to Entertainment Weekly, the film is getting pretty creative. Somehow, Space Jam 2 will delve into the worlds of “Mad Max” and “Casablanca” over the course of the movie.

Via EW:

The highly-anticipated film from Warner Bros., which currently graces the cover of EW, stars James as a heightened version of himself, and the story jumps into high-gear when he and his computer-obsessed son Dom (Cedric Joe) get sucked into the Warner 3000 entertainment “Server-verse” by a rogue A.I. named Al G Rhythm (Don Cheadle).

“Obviously the Looney Tunes come with the Space Jam property, but the idea of playing in the entire Warner Bros. sandbox was an idea that came from [co-writer] Terence Nance,” shares New Legacy producer Ryan Coogler. “And that was a really unique quality about some of the things that he wanted to explore in the script and that made a lot of sense in terms of how entertainment conglomerates are operating right now. A lot of times you have these companies trying to figure out how they can combine different properties and bringing them into one thing to up the ante for the audience. Our script takes a very macro look at that, but from a meta story perspective. LeBron kind of becomes a very meta cog in that machine.”

Space Jam 2 director Malcolm D. Lee set the ba pretty high for the sequel, saying the new movie will be ‘better’ than the original.

It’s “a better movie than Space Jam,” he said. “LeBron [James has] got that going for him.” Elsewhere in the interview he promised, “If you say theatrical movie, Space Jam is it.”

High praise for LeBron here.

With that, we now have a storyline and images for the next Space Jam movie. Apparently, this movie will be a whole lot different than the original film starring Michael Jordan in 1996. LeBron won’t be the only NBA player to star in the movie. Klay Thompson, Anthony Davis, Damian Lillard, Chris Paul, Draymond Green, and Kyle Kuzma are all expect to have a role in the film.

Get ready, Space Jam 2 appears to be a banger.
