They need to move this, Spider-Man 3 is direct competition and opens the same day

I imagine it'll move to the June 4th slot that was originally reserved for Sesame Street.

It strikes mas as odd that they filmed this two years out. With principal photography taking place during NBA off-season this past summer, this should have been primed for release this summer or fall. NBA landscape may look quite different in the summer of 2021 compared to when they filmed.

It's likely to fit it into LeBron's schedule but also the post production will take some time. It wouldn't be the first time that shoots two years before release nor will it be the last.

Given that this movie will feature a lot of hand-drawn 2D animation, it makes sense that they would want to give it as much post-production time as possible.

 

:Edit: I believe the Tom and Jerry movie WB has coming out in December was filmed back in the Summer of last year and that doesn't even have a cast of potentially dozens of hand-drawn characters.

Then it'll have Jurassic World to worry about.

 

Make it a Thanksgiving 2021 release.

Heard rumors that Jim Carrey will come back as the mask but only through voice work. Apparently the character itself will be CG.

 

[JGAR4LIFE]

Release it on April (Tom and Jerry original release date)

[cheesypoofs]

Any confirmation that this will have Carrey as Mask, Skarsgard as Pennywise, Phoenix as Joker, and Fiennes as Voldemort?

Yeah, I got a feeling it will be the Mark Hamill Joker...

[JGAR4LIFE]

The Joker literally shown is the Jared Leto one..

This is starting to sound like WB’s answer to Ralph Breaks the Internet, which is kind of lame. I can only hope that there’ll at least be more hand-biting humor in this case, since WB is generally less obsessed with maintaining a squeaky clean image compared to Disney.

So saw some potential set pic leaks that could change the film's boxoffice potential for the better.

So instead of just having Looney Tunes characters in this, they also have characters from other WB properties. Set pics showed Joker, The Mask, and Pennywise.

Spoiler

All of them will be CGI? Can they get Skarsgard, Hamill, Carrey and Fiennes to at least do the voice work?

 

[Jonwo]

I think if they can get other WB animated properties like Hanna Barbera, Tom and Jerry, Animaniacs and perhaps even Thundercats, it would be awesome.

No. They won't all be CGI. At least, not fully. 

Spoiler

I've seen those leaked photos too, and if they're real then at the very least the Joker and Pennywise are definitely being played by live action performers. 

 

 

 

 

Spoiler

:Edit: (if anyone here wants to see the photos, I can message them)

Space Jam sold like $4 billion in merch, it is very possible that this sequel will be profitable before it is released - which is perfect at the moment.

[TMP]

Release this during March Madness 2021, it'll be in the can for a while before then
