It’s not a rumor anymore: “Space Jam 2” with Lebron James is happening. There’s no word when it’ll hit theaters but it’s going to be directed by Justin Lin who did three of the “Fast and Furious” movies and the upcoming “Star Trek Beyond”.
It’s hard to believe but the original “Space Jam” is 20 YEARS OLD. It was released in 1996 and had Michael Jordan teaming up with Bugs Bunny and the other Looney Tunes to take on a team of aliens on the basketball court.
LeBron made his movie debut in “Trainwreck” last year, playing himself. He’s also played himself on episodes of “Entourage”,“SpongeBob SquarePants”, and “Teen Titans Go!”
