Time to nuke this planet from orbit.

 

 

 

It's the only way to be sure.......that this movie never happens

[Ethan Hunt]

What the hell

[Alpha]

COME ON AND SLAM, AND WELCOME TO THE JAM.

I just want the Looney Tunes characters to be 2D animated. I'll buy a ticket on the first day if that's the case.

I love all the Warner's Looney Tunes characters, but I really think the first Space Jam milked all the humor there is out of the whole "Looney Toon charecters interact with big time Athelete" routine.

 

And don't know if Lebron has the kind of easy going charm that MJ had,which allowed him to get away with being pretty much the straight man for Bugs and company in the first film.

I can't unhear it. I don't know if I'll ever be able to.

Could be an original animated film or a Hanna Barbera film

Keyword: Event. 

 

Unless they do the HBCU crossover or Lego 3.

The Lego Wonder Woman Movie?

I did not expect this to be Justin Lin's follow up to Star Trek Beyond.

I doubt he’s still attached.

[DMan7]

Would be interesting to see Bugs and Daffy back in action on the big screen again. However, the first Space Jam was simply awful and they might be hoping to capture the nostalgia audience with this.

[AniNate]

Nostalgia is a heluva drug, for sure. 

 

Though Lin does have the directing chops to make something watchable, and he does have comedy experience.

after the success of Jumanji I am sure this will get made

Ooh, that's a good point...

[MCKillswitch123]

Yup, Jumanji hitting the kind of numbers it has makes me believe that this will get done, sooner than later. Wouldn't surprise me if they went for a 2020 release, to try to counter Avatar 2 (since Jumanji did a stunning job at facing Star Wars).

 

I would be more "ehh" on this (and while Space Jam is kind of a guilty pleasure, it's not a good movie at Goddamn all) but Justin Lin directing makes me more hopeful.

Sing 2 comes out in 2020. I think it’s that WAG 2021 Christmas event spot.

Space Jam 2's biggest hurdle is that LeBron is nowhere near as well known OS compared to Michael Jordan and the Looney Tunes themselves aren't going to bring the big bucks. 

 

I wonder if WB will try and crossover other characters they own into the movie. I know Scooby Doo has a WAG film coming out but it'd neat to have not only Looney Tunes but maybe the Hanna Barbera characters and the MGM cartoons appearing alongside Bugs and Daffy.
