While I must admit that Space Jam didn’t really float my boat the way it did with many of my friends, I can understand why this would be exciting news for many, especially since the original movie is 20 next year (20!?).
ESPN’s Brian Windhorst announced on Twitter that LeBron James has signed deals with Warner Bros for film and TV, just as Warners filed new Trademarks for Space Jam.
Now, while it is clasping at straws somewhat, rumours abound that the sequel is in the planning stage for the 20th anniversary… does this mean, if it happens, that LeBron would star over Michael Jordan? Who knows, but the question now is, would you be excited for this?
We’re filing this under rumour of the highest calibre, but we get the feeling there might be something to this…
Warner Bros. announced partnership with LeBron James’ SpringHill Productions to develop TV, movie & digital content projects.

Marc is a self-confessed nerd. Ever since seeing Star Wars for the first time around 1979 he’s been an unapologetic fan of the Wars and still believes, with Clone Wars and now Underworld, we are yet to see the best Star Wars. He’s a dad of two who now doesn’t have the time (or money) to collect the amount of toys, comics, movies and books he once did, much to the relief of his long-suffering wife. In the real world he’s a graphic designer. He started Following the Nerd because he was tired of searching a million sites every day for all the best news that he loves and decided to create one place where you can go to get the whole lot. Secretly he longs to be sitting in the cockpit of his YT-1300 Corellian Transport ship with his co-pilot Chewie, roaming the universe, waiting for his next big adventure, but feels just at home watching cartoons with his kids….
