Several sources have confirmed that LeBron James is set to start in the Space Jam sequel, but according to ESPN’s Brian Windhorst “no deal is in place,” although a deal is expected to be done soon.
The director of Fast & Furious, Justin Lin, was announced today as the director for the upcoming film.
Space Jam came out in 1996 and raked in $230.4-million worldwide and starred Michael Jordan in a box office monster that has since become a classic.
LBJ will be be MJ’s successor in the series. Let’s see if James can come close to the success Jordan brought.
