The animated/live-action hybrid comedy stars basketball legend LeBron James in an epic adventure to save his kid; 4K, Blu-ray and DVD releasing October 5.
Space Jam fans, get ready for some action-packed digital hoops, as Warner Bros. Home Entertainment is releasing Space Jam: A New Legacy via Premium Digital on September 3, with 4K, Blu-ray and DVD coming October 5. Watch as NBA superstar Lebron James faces off in a basketball battle against award-winning actor Don Cheadle, as AI-G Rhythm, to rescue his son and himself from their digital world confines.
This live-action / 3DCG animated hybrid mashup should prove nostalgic for any fan of the original 1996 Space Jam, which starred basketball legend Michel Jordan. In the new film, Lebron and his son Dom have trouble seeing eye to eye, as Dom has little interest in being a basketball player despite his talent for the sport. Their relationship comes to a head during an argument when they are suddenly sucked into the “Serververse” by a nefarious self-aware A.I., AI-G Rhythm, who will only let the pair escape if Lebron beats his hi-tech team in a game of basketball. Lebron must recruit the classic rag-tag team of Looney Tunes characters from across digital dimensions to stand any chance against the digitally enhanced versions of all-star players starring in AI-G’s lineup. But Lebron will have to win more than just the game if he wants to return with his son. It’s tune vs. goon in this classic journey with a modern twist, where being true to who you are is the winning play in this zany family adventure.
Space Jam: A New Legacy is directed by Malcolm D. Lee from a screenplay by Juel Taylor; Tony Rettenmaier; Keenan Coogler; and Terence Nance. It stars James, Cheadle (the Avengers films, Hotel Rwanda), Khris Davis (Judas and the Black Messiah), Sonequa Martin-Green, Cedric Joe, Jeff Bergman (Looney Tunes Cartoons) and Eric Bauza (Looney Tunes Cartoons).
The film was produced by James, Ryan Coogler, Maverick Carter and Duncan Henderson, with Sev Ohanian, Zinzi Coogler, Allison Abbate, Jesse Ehrman, Jamal Henderson, Spencer Beighley, Justin Lin, Nance and Ivan Reitman executive producing.
