Space Jam 2 is finally happening, after years of rumours; with LeBron James as its star, and Fast & Furious 6’s Justin Lin in talks to direct (via The Hollywood Reporter).
Space Jam 2, at least, has one factor fighting its corner: LeBron James has already proven himself to be a genuine comedic talent in last year’s Trainwreck, a label unfortunately not applicable for Michael Jordan’s short cinematic career.
The Looney Tunes are desperately trying to McConaughey themselves back into popular affection with the only thing they know how to do – make another Space Jam movie.
Ridiculous as that premise is, and as ridiculous as the actual movie is; Space Jam did manage to earn $230M worldwide and saw a late spike in the popularity of the classic Looney Tunes brand.
