#ToonNEWS Space Jam: A New Legacy – Trailer 1

I knew this wasn't really going to be Space Jam 2. From the previous previews, this seemed to be something closer to Wreck-it-Ralph or Ready Player One...

Warner surely want crazy with the virtual reality and WB-approved cameos on this one, heh.. Check it out, Space Jam: A New Legacy!

Jack Nicholson Joker, Jim Carrey The Mask, Burton-Catwoman, 60s-Catwoman, The Iron Giant (WB going against everything that the Iron Giant stood in his own film - putting him into big epic action scenes-cameos.. again..), The Jetson, Space Ghost and many more.. I can already imagine all the clickbait articles and videos screenshoting this trailer instead of talking about its quality... Quantity has replaced quality in this day and age.. sigh..

I'm not saying Space Jam 1 was high quality either. But it certainly had more heart, for a simple dumb movie about Michael Jordan playing basket with the Looney Tunes, despite it being a film based on a commercial... 

All I'm saying is I'm gonna rewatch Back in Action this week.

Anyways, "A New Legacy" opens in theaters and HBO Max July 16.

#ToonsNEWS Space Jam 2: A New Legacy

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.
