Lebron James is finally giving us our Space Jam spinoff. Springhill Entertainment reportedly recruited Black Panther’s director, Ryan Coogler, as the producer.
“The Space Jam collaboration is so much more than just me and the Looney Tunes getting together and doing this movie,” James disclosed to Melissa Guthrie of the Hollywood Reporter. “It’s so much bigger. I’d just love for kids to understand how empowered they can feel and how empowered they can be if they don’t just give up on their dreams. And I think Ryan did that for a lot of people. ”
Coogler, 32, is recognized for his past work on Fruitvale Station, Creed and Black Panther. He’s also the executive producer for Creed 2. James said he “loved [Coogler’s] vision” for Black Panther and commended him for giving African American’s a superhero to look up to. “For Ryan to be able to bring that to kids, it’s amazing,” James said.
Terence Nance is set to be the director, which is scheduled to start production in 2019. Space Jam has been on a rollercoaster for a while now, it was a rumor forever before it was officially announced July 2015.
