Space Jam 2

[kouroux]

I hit 'em high, hit 'em high, hit 'em high
And you hit 'em low, hit 'em low, hit 'em low
If I hit 'em high, hit 'em high, hit 'em high
And you hit 'em low, hit 'em low, hit 'em low

 

[Mr Pigeon]

Space Jam was fecking dreck lads, and so is that saccharine song by that sex offender.

Just so I can get everything arranged in advance; what type of lining do you want in your coffin?

 

[Wonder Pigeon]

I'll die a correct man, there's honour in that.

We're in a 90s nostalgia boom. Everything made in the 90s is now at least 40% better than it actually was.

The idea that Space Jam 2 will be ruined by "unnecessary cameos" is pretty amusing though. Let's Nolan it. A dark, brooding, grittily realistic Space Jam is clearly the only thing that could do one of the most flagrant cash grabs of all time the creative justice it deserves.

 

[Welsh Wonder]

Superman v Space Jam. Dark and smile-free. I'd watch it.

 

[ThierryHenry]

Surely Lebron isn't half the cultural icon MJ was in the 90s? Or am I saying that because of his fame from Space Jam?

 

[duffer]

I've not seen Space Jam 1. Would I be able to follow the plot in the sequel?

As for basketballers, I think the only ones I would recognize are Jordan, Shaq and that maniac who went to North Korea. I've obviously heard of LeBron but if he walked past me in the street I'd just think "that's a tall fecker" and not "that's LeBron James".

He's pretty marketable. Not nearly as successful though.

 

[Zen]

It's the Bill Murray supporting part that this will struggle to replace. Leave that out and Space Jam is pretty ordinary as far as kids films goes. Despite some pretty solid acting from sports stars, which is exceptionally rare.

Expect Shaq to show up.

I gather that the NBA nowadays is extremely popular in China for example, which wasn't really the case in the 90s.

Bugs Bunny isn't half the cultural icon he was in the 90s either.

 

[Sylar]

Who will they get to play a role similar to Murray though? He was great inthat movie.

And the movie is a classic. Anybody who disagrees is wrong.

 

[Roman Bellic]

When was the last time a child in this generation watched an episode of looney tunes? I think it's bugs bunny's marketability we should be worried about, Lebron isn't exactly MJ but he still has a huge following worldwide.

I think the movie will attract fans of the original movie more so than children.

 

[Art]

Come on and slam and welcome to the jam

If they are making a 2nd, they need to get Murray involved. No one can take his mantle.

 

[LeChuck]

Hype.

 

[cyberman]

Excellent. All we need now is to sign Martin Lawrence up for Blue Streak 2 and we're ready to go

 

[Wonder Pigeon]

Bill Murray has about a minute and a half of screen time in that movie. Your memories betray you.

I gather that the NBA nowadays is extremely popular in China for example, which wasn't really the case in the 90s.

This was from an article in the late 90s: (I found the quote here, but used an earlier instance when I wrote my dissertation on Michael Jordan while at university)

In a recent survey of Chinese students Jordan tied with Zhou Enlai as “the world’s greatest man.”

Jordan was huge over in China in the 90s.

 

[Scrumpet]

Michael Jordan would never accept being joint-first in anything, so neither will I.

feck MJ.

Should have picked another sport. Like curling, that sport needs a movie about it.

 

[Brown Toothpick]

That's got Will Ferrell/Adam Sandler written all over it.

 

[Smores]

I wish they'd leave all these 90s films alone. It's impossible not to be excited but all they do is tarnish their reputations.

Won't someone think of the 90s children

It's been 2 decades already, i dont think the movie will be aimed at 27-40 year olds.

 

[PvsNP]

Promotions have already started.

 

[Desert Eagle]

shaq, kobe, lebron, duncan, cp3 with Will ferrell playing the murray role

Oh dear.

 

[syrian_scholes]

Hope it's as good as this.

Justin Lin will direct the Space Jam sequel starring LeBron James.

 

[Bubz27]

Trailers out! I'm excited for it.

 

[ha_rooney]

Do they need to reveal so much of the plot in the trailer?! Should’ve at least kept the Wade pose for the movie.

 

[sullydnl]

The first Space Jam film was an absolute heap of shite but I suppose it's inevitable that we see millennial nostalgia increasingly mined for cash. Bah and indeed humbug.

 

[horsechoker]

Will R Kelly do the song again?

 

[Sylar]

First was great fun

 

[Bubz27]

First was great fun

Thank you. I'm ignoring the negative Nancy's above. It's only supposed to be a bit of fun.

 

[Scarlett Dracarys]

Trailers out! I'm excited for it.

Haha shoot the ball

 

[BootsyCollins]

I am guessing its going to be just as good as the first one. Only that have changed is me, sadly
