Space Jam, the hilarious and charming tale of the Looney Tunes taking on the 'Monstars' in a game of basketball with the help of NBA legend Michael Jordan and Bill Murray, is getting a sequel. A follow-up to the classic kids film from 1997 was rumoured last year, but now it has been confirmed, alongside a few exciting details. It seems that Cleveland Cavaliers star LeBron James will take up the mantle of the Michael Jordan role, with other stars such as Bugs Bunny, Tweetie Pie and Daffy Duck likely to reprise their roles... https://twitter.com/bycycle/status/727255510890758149 Perhaps even more exciting is that Justin Lin is tagged to direct the film. Fans of Community will know him as the man responsible for the show's iconic paintball episode 'Modern Warfare'. https://twitter.com/BlunderingIdiom/status/727245036878966789 No release date is set just yet, and the production seems to be in a very preliminary stage, but we are very excited about this. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mWeII9xkTnw Clip via someday1567.
