Come on and JAM! To the first official screenshots of Space Jam 2!
First up the official synopsis, which show a, err, radically different take on Space Jam as a concept.
Playing a heightened version of himself, James struggles to relate to [Cedric] Joe’s Dom [LeBron’s son], who's much more interested in creating games than playing them. When Dom’s tech skills draw the attention of a CGI humanoid named Al G Rhythm (Don Cheadle), the father-son duo get sucked into the Warner 3000 entertainment ‘Server-verse,’ with the A.I. kidnapping Dom in the hopes of stealing some of the King's followers (IRL he has about 80 million on Instagram). Cheadle doesn’t consider Al G a bad guy (what bad guy does?), but rather ‘an A.I. with a chip on his shoulder.’
A..alright..?
So I guess it's not "SPACE jam" anymore, and more like "CYBERSPACE Jam". Also, this seems to be more of a Warner Bros take on Wreck-it-Ralph with a redo of Ready Player One.
Anyways, place for the first pics:
Don't worry. The characters will be 2D in their universe, as you can see from the following leaked pics of Lebron in the toons world, but they will become CGi in the virtual world where they end up playing basketball, for some reason.
