The new plot details from LeBron's 'Space Jam: A New Legacy' sound wild

0 1

When we first heard some details about the plot of Space Jam: A New Legacy, the LeBron James and Bugs Bunny flick that’s a sequel of sorts to the Michael Jordan classic, it sounded pretty awesome: James’s son Dom is being held captive by “rogue AI,” so the Los Angeles Lakers star has to get him with the help of the Tune Squad.

Thanks to Entertainment Weekly, we have a lot more detail, and it sounds like a wild thrill ride that will apparently include incorporating some other Warner Bros. movies into this one. Here’s a bunch about what you’ll see:

Playing a heightened version of himself, James struggles to relate to Joe’s Dom, 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,” says the MCU veteran.

Not wild enough for you? How about this?

When James is sucked into the WB server, he drifts through some of the studio’s most famous films to track down his underdog squad. “It was a tricky thing just in terms of what you may want, like, ‘Oh my God, look, there’s Mad Max, and there’s Casablanca!'” Lee explains. (James also mentioned The Matrix and Wonder Woman as part of the WB look back, though no title is confirmed yet.) In addition to entering these worlds, “we have a lot of the WB characters at the game, watching like they do at Rucker Park,” Lee says, referencing the historic NYC street court.

And here’s a first look thanks to EW and James:

OK, I’m in. This sounds like fun.
