Director de "Black Panther" confirma a LeBron James como protagonista de "Space Jam 2"

Estuvimos esperando este momento por mucho tiempo y finalmente es una realidad, la segunda parte de "Space Jam" está en camino. Así lo confirmó su protagonista LeBron James, quien sustituirá a Michael Jordan como protagonista en esta secuela.

"Siempre quise ser un superhéroe en mi infancia. Batman era mi favorito. Participar en Space Jam es un sueño hecho realidad sin duda. Me encantaría que los niños entendieran el poder que tienen en sus manos si persiguen sus sueños" comentó LeBron James.

La película contará con Ryan Coogler, director de "Black Panther" como el productor de la cinta. Además salió a la luz lo que había sido un rumor durante años y es que el patinador Tony Hawk tendría una película junto a los Looney Tunes, sin embargo nunca se concretó nada por el fracaso en taquilla de "Back in Action".

in 2003, I was requested to meet with Warner Brothers about doing a film with the Looney Tunes characters that was tentatively titled “Skate Jam.” Their plan was to bring back Bugs, Taz, etc into the cinema with a current release called “Back In Action” and then immediately start working on my project. I was about to leave for a skate trip in Australia so they met me at that iconic dome-shaped restaurant in the middle of LAX before my flight that evening. They were SERIOUS. We talked about storylines and shooting schedules, and they casually mentioned that I would get $1 million up front for signing on. I flew to Sydney that night with a sense of wonder and excitement; I had never met with Hollywood heads and felt so sure about something happening. During my week-long trip, “Back In Action” was released in theaters and bombed. By the time I got home, Skate Jam had been “indefinitely postponed” and I never heard about it again. I still think it would have been a hit considering skateboarding’s popularity at the time, and the reverence kids (now young adults) had for Space Jam. This drawing was given to me at a skate demo that Looney Tunes sponsored years before our movie talks began; with Marvin fittingly on a hoverboard.

LeBron James es sin duda alguna el basquetbolista más sobresaliente de los últimos años, ha sido campeón de la NBA en tres oportunidades, también ha sido elegido como el jugador más valioso de la temporada en 4 ocasiones, razones suficientes para ser elegido como el sucesor de Jordan.

The Space Jam sequel with @KingJames has been announced!
