About “Space Jam: A New Legacy”
Welcome to the Jam! Basketball champion and global icon LeBron James goes on an
epic adventure alongside timeless Tune Bugs Bunny with the animated/live-action
event “Space Jam: A New Legacy” from director Malcolm D. Lee and innovative filmmaking
team that includes Ryan Coogler and Maverick Carter. This transformational journey
is a manic mashup of two worlds that reveals just how far some parents will go to
connect with their kids. When LeBron and his young son Dom are trapped in a digital
space by a rogue A.I., LeBron must get them home safe by leading Bugs, Lola Bunny
and the whole gang of notoriously undisciplined Looney Tunes to victory over the
A.I.’s digitized champions on the court: a powered-up roster of professional basketball
stars as you’ve never seen them before. It’s Tunes versus Goons in the highest-stakes
challenge of his life, that will redefine LeBron’s bond with his son and shine a
light on the power of being yourself. The ready-for-action Tunes destroy convention,
supercharge their unique talents and surprise even “King” James by playing the game
their own way.
James stars alongside Don Cheadle, Khris Davis, Sonequa Martin-Green, newcomer Cedric
Joe, Jeff Bergman, Eric Bauza and Zendaya. Lee directs from a screenplay by Juel
Taylor & Tony Rettenmaier & Keenan Coogler & Terence Nance and Jesse Gordon and
Celeste Ballard, story by Juel Taylor & Tony Rettenmaier & Keenan Coogler & Terence
Nance and Terence Nance. Based on “Space Jam,” written by Leo Benvenuti & Steve
Rudnick and Timothy Harris & Herschel Weingrod. The film’s producers are Ryan Coogler,
LeBron James, Maverick Carter and Duncan Henderson, and the executive producers
are Sev Ohanian, Zinzi Coogler, Allison Abbate, Jesse Ehrman, Jamal Henderson, Spencer
Beighley, Justin Lin, Terence Nance and Ivan Reitman.
