I don't like Lebron, so no. Disappointed he's starring in it. He wants to be Michael Jordan so damn bad.

Mostly where I'm at. I'll see it sometime, though not in theater (haven't been there in forever), and mostly for nostalgia. I'd bet most viewers will be those who were kids when the first was out.

I understand why LeBron is doing this. He will get more exposure, he will likely get lots of money from the movie and endorsements due to the movie, but this isn't the 90's anymore. When Jordan did his, it was a time, when people who didn't enjoy it, or wasn't interested in the movie wouldn't simply not watch the movie and and make a few jokes at Jordan's terrible acting. In the current climate however, if the movie is of the same quality of Jordan's, LeBron will get racked through the fire by trolls and general haters in full force, and this time, not by only NBA fans.

It's a smart risk though. He will expose himself to an entirely new generation of potential fans who will carry on his legacy.

I"m more confused that loony tunes aren't around now? Seriously bugs bunny goes back to the 1940...when did they stop being a thing for kids? How did warner let that happen?

Yep, though I think if anyone expects an actually great movie they're setting it up for failure. Space Jam wasn't some great production. It was loved for merging sports with childhood favorites.

No big Loony Tunes show out.
LeBron at age 34 almost 35 by the time of post-production.

There's little reason to see this as an adult.

There's little reason for an adult to see the first one too.

But I agree, Lonny Tunes are so 90s. But idk what they'd do today? Fortnite? Like there is very little kids entertainment that people even in their 20s find legitimate.

Spongebob

Maybe 10 years ago.

And when LeBron finishes filming, I heard he's going to start working on his baseball swing.

Nope, I didn't even see the first one. I don't really like watching movies.

Something tells me R Kelly's rendition of "I believe I can fly" won't be making an appearance in this one

I wonder if LeBron will try and trade the loony tunes

Well we know he'll definitely have his own version of this in the movie:

Yeah - he’ll get some of the Monstars to demand a trade and then try and trade away all the looney tunes. In a plot twist the Looney Tunes trade him instead and they rally with the help of a good coach and maybe some other good players and win the game without him. That would be good!

No, but I wouldn't of wanted to watch the first one if I was adult when it came out either. Might check out the soundtrack tho...

Jordans_Rose · Post #57 » by **Jordans_Rose** » Fri Feb 22, 2019 12:59 am

I will watch it but I grew up in the 90s so the original Space Jam with Michael Jordan will always be a classic. If it's dubbed Space Jam 2, I'm curious to know what WB adds to the second installment.

Did Jordan ever play football?
