A fresh take on an iconic movie, Space Jam: A New Legacy has balls
Daffy Duck: best animated character ever? Discuss.
IT’S BEEN 25 YEARS since the original Space Jam, starring Michael Jordan, hit screens and broke records. Now the Looney Tunes are back – and they haven’t aged a day… But while the Tunes cast may not have had any work done, director Malcolm D Lee has reimagined the franchise to embrace the different world we live in.
“This is more than Space Jam, this is like Cyberspace Jam,” he explains. “We’re in an era where everything is digital and electronic and on the web, you know? Everything’s about videogames and virtual reality, and so our characters – LeBron James and his son – go into a videogame. It’s a great way to reintroduce Looney Tunes to the big screen, with the help of one of the greatest basketball players to ever play.”
