Re: Space Jam 2 in the works (2015/16) starring Lebron James
I like to think that Space Jam already had a sequel: Zombieland. Bill Murray played the same character in both movies.

Re: Space Jam 2 in the works (2015/16) starring Lebron James
I'm not an NBA follower but even I can tell that James doesn't have the appeal that Jordan did.

Re: Space Jam 2 in the works (2015/16) starring Lebron James
Yes, I don't mean his athletic ability but if he has the star power like Jordan did. Plus to my admittedly uneducated eyes I don't think LeBron is as "family friendly" as Jordan either.

Re: Space Jam 2 in the works (2015/16) starring Lebron James
Yeah that's why they should've gone with Kobe for the "darker sequel".

Re: Space Jam 2 in the works (2015/16) starring Lebron James
Kobe avoids rape allegations, infidelity and negative publicity by shooting heroin and watching Looney Toons. The hallucinations start innocently. But the trip goes bad and he's tasked with finding his way back - by winning a Looney Toons basketball tournament.
If someone can produce this, I will write it. |
Re: Space Jam 2 in the works (2015/16) starring Lebron James
Yeah that sounds good. I'll try to produce it via kickstarter.

I know he's hated in Cleveland and probably most East coast NBA cities outside of Miami. Jordan wasn't Mr. Perfect. It was revealed that he was a constant philanderer and had a gambling problem. |

Are basketball skills really relevant in an animated movie? Is that really the argument? :lol:

His talent and him being the biggest star and being in his prime is completely irrelevant to this. No one denies how good he is, just how likable he is.
Kobe seems like a better choice. |
Re: Space Jam 2 in the works (2015/16) starring Lebron James
Space Jam 2 with Lebron? No
Space Pass(or whatever football term) with Peyton Manning? Yes OMAHA! WALLA WALLA WASHINGTON! |

Overall I just don't think the NBA personalities are as good as they were in the 90's. So even though I think Kobe is a better choice, I don't think he'd be as good as Jordan was. They're better off changing sports and going for baseball or football. Derek Jeter is a big name who will be out of a job soon. Peyton Manning would be good as well. |
Re: Space Jam 2 in the works (2015/16) starring Lebron James
I don't think any basketball player is a good choice right now. I don't like Lebron, but honestly he's the only one right now that could do something like this. Even as a huge Lakers fan, Kobe's past issues make him a poor choice, to be honest.

Re: Space Jam 2 in the works (2015/16) starring Lebron James
Jordan was widely known among tons of people who didn't give a shit about basketball. And possibly well-liked among them also. To be honest, I don't remember, but I do remember taking my daughter and her friends to see SPACE JAM. And it was a packed house. Whether it was Jordan or the Looney Tunes stars or a combination of both, SPACE JAM was a hit. Nobody mentioned in this thread as a replacement or possible replacement for Jordan in SPACE JAM 2 has anywhere near that cachet.

There was a time when Tiger Woods would have been a good choice for this sort of thing.

re: Space Jam: A New Legacy (2021, D: Malcolm D. Lee, P: Coogler) -- S: LeBron James
James would work as the master villain, though no way he does that to his image.
Jordan was well liked, but that was in an age where there wasn't constant media pressure that would reveal his gambling issues and insane competitiveness. Now everyone either has some level of backlash or is kinda bland. Honestly I'd think Blake Griffin would do well in a comedy, but he's got a legion of haters as well. |
