Space Jam 2 Is Doomed, Original Director Says

Its been 2 years and Lebron is still a Bigger name than Steph Curry. But...Curry might get more Title if the warrriors keep this team together ...

Non-american speaking that had the pleasure to see the first Space Jam as a kid and gotta say it's the first time hearing about Steph Curry but honestly I don't know Lebron James that well either. Don't think either of them are big enough stars to make a new Space Jam movie about, back in 96 it made sense to cast Jordan in the movie, I mean it'd been 20 years and we're still talking about him he was a worldwide superstar, I'm not sure that'll happen to any of these 2 guys.

Nevertheless who says Space Jam has to be about a basketball game? There are other sports with several legends currently playing

Steph Curry sounds like a disease or indian food dish. Never heard of him.

I don't watch sports but I know who Lebron James is.

As someone that lives in Seattle, and no longer having a basketball team, I don't follow basketball anymore (and before, it wasn't that much to begin with). I know of LeBron James, and I've heard of Steph Curry, and his recent MVP I think, though honestly, LeBron is still a much bigger name, at least I hear of him more, and see him in stuff non-basketball related. Not following it, I have no idea why Steph Curry is a bigger name; I just understand he's a good NBA player. Eh, I couldn't care less for a Space Jam movie, but I don't think there'd be much of an issue if LeBron was the star as Jordan was in the first is all I'm saying. I understand wanting the best player, but who cares.

I remember going to see this at the cinema. There were six people in there. We were half of the audience haha.

LeBron James is a TRAITOR. **** HIM!

At least give him a chance and yes while movies today are supposed to be more effortless it isn't going too well or maybe its me but acting is out the window

See... The biggest issue with your statement, Joe, is that I, a person who dislikes sports in most shapes and forms, has actually heard of Lebron.
This is literally the first I have ever heard of this Steph person.

Somebody sounds bitter he's not back.

Needs more Bill Murray.

While Curry would be a better choice I don't think they they should make it at all. I wouldn't mind if they made a different NBA/Basketball type movie but Space Jam doesn't need a sequel.

The only way I could see it was if it was years ago and Michael Jordan was the lead again. They could have made it when he was with the Wizards and was ready to retire. The Looney Tunes would need his help again, but he doesn't know if he still has it in him.

If they wanted Lebron on the cover, this movie is several years too late already. Either way, this movie was already doomed the moment it was announced to be in production.

Lebron is a terrible choice, since most people outside of Cleveland despise him. Everyone loved Jordan at the time.

Not really a basketball fan, so I can't really comment on that aspect of it. Maybe it came down to which of these guys was a better actor, because all basketball players are great actors, right? Sorry... Honestly I have no idea, but I don't think I care either. Even if whoever they pick gave the most wooden performance imaginable, I don't think it'd bother me. ...Much... The important thing though is to get it right on the Looney Tunes end. Those characters can make anyone look good, so that's what really matters, I think.

Steph Curry is ABSOLUTELY the biggest star in basketball right now. First ever unanimous MVP, NBA record for wins in a season, etc. Once the Warriors finish winning the title they'll be, IMO, the greatest team in NBA history. Yes, I include the 72 win Bulls there.

If you wanted to make a Space Jam 2 with Lebron you waited to long.

No, you need Lovable NBA players for a cartoon basketball comedy in this day and age. It should be a movie about 5 Shaqs saving the world.

well this is kind of hanging on the edge, I'm not totally against it but it depends on the vibe it'll get, we'll see

space jam was a terrible movie when i was 10. it is a terrible movie now. the sequel will flop hard... kids don't even like wb cartoons anymore and half of them don't know who bugs bunny is... these kids like angry birds. who is this movie for exactly? cancel it. cancel it now before it is too late. save that cash for more dc films.

well 1st Sony is runining my childhood with Ghostbusters reboot & now Warner Bros. Space Jam 2 should have Kobe & Shaq since they were the dynamic duo of basketball back in the early 2000's

I think the director forgets that if James beats Curry this year then not only does he lift the curse on Cleveland but does something that he didn't do last year. It isn't like James is a down star in the world of basketball.

Nonsence .... LBJ is a way bigger star and much more sympatic then this arrogant Curry guy.

I was expecting him to say something conniving and stupid because let's face it the original movie isn't actually that great of a film, but it has a nostalgia to it that we like.

However, what he says is actually logical and makes sense. They actually should listen to what he's saying here.

The problem isn't with the star.
The problem is that Hollywood thinks every popular movie back then needs a sequel or reboot.

Some do, absolutely, but not this and not Ghostbusters.

Well for most parts, he's got a point but let's ask ourselves this, does anyone even still cares about Looney Toons? Looney Toons still relevant today? Haven't seen any of its characters in years besides The Lonney Toon Show on CN and that show is gone due to poor rating so yeah, Space Jam 2 is DOOMED!

I won't lie, I'll only go see it if Barkley was back to do Space Jam 2.

Don't do Space Jam 2. Don't ruin my childhood. This is the same thing they are doing with the new Ghostbusters movie...ughh -.-
