Rumors on the making of Space Jam 2 have finally come to reality after much deliberations, it appears the film is actually in the works.
According to The Hollywood Reporter, Justin Lin, the most tenured of the Fast & Furious directors, will be helming the project which also will star LeBron James. The NBA MVP candidate is coming off his well-received feature film debut in Trainwreck and is currently in the running for a league title with his Cleveland Cavaliers squad.
Released in 1996, the original film was a box office draw, raking in $230.4 million worldwide as it starred Michael Jordan and the top-tier faces of the Looney Tunes. It makes perfect sense that James would become MJ's successor (in the movie) as he donned the #23 on his jersey for the bulk of his career.
On the music front, the film's accompanying soundtrack sported plenty of Hip Hop talent such as Jay Z ghostwriting for Bugs Bunny on "Buggin'," the overlooked posse cut "Hit 'Em High (The Monstars' Anthem)" (B-Real, Busta Rhymes, Coolio, LL Cool J & Method Man) and the title track scored by Quad City DJ's, which still rouses TV timeouts to this day.
