Do kids even care or know about Looney Tunes anymore? Unless their parents have them on DVD or something, I'm not sure what's been done to keep them in the spotlight. I know there was a tv show a few years back but it didn't seem to do well.

 

[DrunkShogun]

Space jam is a mess of a film that 90s children loves because it had bugs bunny and Bill Murray. Think space jam 2 is in the wrong decade to leave an impression the way the first one did.

 

[JLynn]

If this goes in production I bet money there will be a joke on how the old Space Jam site is still operational.

 

[Owari]

As someone who misses the old looney tunes and could give a shit about basketball color me stoked

 

[friskykillface]

The alien that steals Currys basketball skills will shoot it from a planet to another planet to show his range

 

[NeOak]

Lebron? Pls

No thanks. No need for this movie. Even with Jordan.

It was a product of the 90s. It doesn't fly today.

 

[harSon]

Why not Blake Griffin

 

[Zalman]

I am going to watch this movie so hard and there is nothing you can do to stop me

 

[Frozenprince]

The Looney Toons brand is basically dead at this point.

I can't see this getting much of it's target audience.

 

[Nibel]

The original is a piece of shit.

Not you too Bob-God

 

[Vanillalite]

This is a crime against humanity

 

[studyguy]

This movie is gonna be fucking crazy.

Who could imagine that killing their Saturday morning cartoons would kill the brand! /s

News was provided!

The original is a piece of shit.

I'm curious as to what they have in place now, or why anyone should give a shit. Looney Tunes aren't as big as they were in the '90s (and they weren't even all that big then), and the biggest star in the NBA is currently Steph Curry.

Oh I know. I was just saying provide the news and leave your opinion for the comment section, not the OP, but it's not that big of a deal either way.

Also, I wholeheartedly disagree with you. Definitely nostalgia, but I loved the first one.

 

[Frozenprince]

Maybe the movie is about Bron turning heel and joining the Monstars to steal Stephs power so he can finally win that third ring?

I'd watch it.

 

[Stabby McSter]

I watch Space Jam at least once a year.

It's a terrible film, but I love it so.

 

[RBH]

The first Space Jam was terrible.

Get out.

 

[DietRob]

The first Space Jam was terrible. Literally nobody is asking for this. More of Warner Bros. throwing money into a hole I guess.

Agree. I guess Warner Bros wants to give a new generation of kids something to over-hype and look back on with nostalgia glasses in 20 years.

 

[WillyFive]

Space Jam is only good for the novelty of live action mixed with 2D animation (it was like a decade since Roger Rabbit), but both Rabbit and Back in Action are far better movies.

 

[Ashhong]

His dry humor acting in Trainwreck wasn't half bad. Looking forward to this!

This post is worse than all your Nintendo ball gargling posts in gaming. Feel bad.

Space Jam is the best movie of all time.

 

[.JayZii]

But will the Looney Toons be rendered in CG graphics? Will Lebron be hand-drawn? These are the real questions.

 

[Data West]

How can someone conceive such a thought?!

Because it really was.

It might be the most overblown bad movie of all time by millenials

 

[Sanjuro]

Why do I feel like there is a 90% chance Kevin Hart is in this film?

 

[Frozenprince]

But will the Looney Toons be rendered in CG graphics? Will Lebron be hand-drawn? These are the real questions.

His hairline certainly will.

 

[WillyFive]

There would be riots if the Looney Tunes are CG.

 

[ISOM]

Should have been Curry.

 

[Bronx-Man]

The original is a piece of shit.

This opinion is literally wrong.

 

[Warxard]

Will Kevin Hart be in this too

 

[jwk94]

Why not Curry?

Because Curry is a fad for the time being, just like Lin was. Lebron has proven staying power.

 

[torre_avenue]

I asked for this.

Space Jam 2 guaranteed to be a stone cold classic now.

 

[Zalman]

They better not be CG, that would ruin the movie

 

[Ray Wonder]

his hairline doesn't

 

[Frozenprince]

Bruh.

Bruh.

 

[friskykillface]

Why do I feel like there is a 90% chance Kevin Hart is in this film?

"why didn't they steal my skills, is it cause i'm short!?" the shot is shown with only his head shown in a circle with LeBron and Shaq

Kevin gets his usual height joke in the film and a cameo

 

[cLOUDo]

is Looney Tunes still a thing?

 

[OricWindstar]

Should have done a Larry and Tweety Bird buddy cop movie.

 

[DietRob]

I bet at least half of the people saying how awesome Space Jam was weren't even alive or old enough to remember when it came out in 96. A case of the internet forming their opinion on a terrible film.

 

[Hot Coldman]

This needs to be a total deconstruction of why the existence of the first film, and indeed a sequel almost 20 years later, was a complete fucking mistake.

 

[NOLA_Gaffer]

As someone who misses the old looney tunes and could give a shit about basketball color me stoked

This will won't be anywhere the quality of "old Looney Tunes". Nothing will ever top the shorts from the 40s, 50s, and 60s.

 

[Extra Sauce]

I hope you like your Looney Tunes CG.

edit: Wait people are actually holding out hope that the animation will be hand-drawn? Your poor souls...

 

[SpaceWolf]

Space Jam changed my life. Inspired me to get cleaned up.

I eagerly await a sequel.

 

[Violence Jack]

Space Jam was great, also had no business having a soundtrack that good attached to it either.

So are the Monstars going to steal all the talent from the Spurs so that Lebron loses to them again?

 

[Mik317]

yall are looking at this wrong.

fuck the movie.

what about dat soundtrack? That is the true test

 

[NOLA_Gaffer]

I bet at least half of the people saying how awesome Space Jam was weren't even alive or old enough to remember when it came out in 96. A case of the internet forming their opinion on a terrible film.

The ten-year period between 1995 and 2005 was just a cesspool of awful films. Next thing you know someone is going to pop up defending Daredevil, Spawn, and Batman & Robin as being sort of cinematic masterpieces.

 

[Bronx-Man]

I want the GenXer geezers to exit this thread. They're too old and busted to understand Space Jam's brilliance.

 

[Kickz]

Yes, about damn time.

I wonder who the roster will be

Kobe, LeBron, Curry, KD, TOwns?

 

[ohNOitsRO]

Who the fuck watches the first Space Jam and says it's a "terrible movie"... It's a fucking basketball movie with cartoons and the greatest basketball player of our time aimed at for kids...

Like what kind of schtickler do you have to be to have such a negative opinion about something that's supposed to be lighthearted and fun and is not even directed at you?

Hoping that this movie will be just as fun and looney tunes zany, and that Lebron is capable of making fun of himself with a decision spoof.

 

[Pai Pai Master]

fuck the movie.

This, I wore that cassette tape the fuck out on family trips
