Entertainment Weekly has given us our first look at Warner Bros.’ upcoming sequel to 1996’s Space Jam, Space Jam: A New Legacy. The official synopsis of the film is as follows:
During a trip to the Warner Bros. studio, NBA Superstar LeBron James and his son accidentally get trapped within a world that contains all of Warner Bros.’ stories and characters, under the control of a malfunctioning, all-powerful force named Al G (Don Cheadle). With the help of Bugs Bunny, LeBron must navigate through a never-before-imagined world filled with iconic movie scenes and characters as they re-assemble the Looney Tunes to rescue his lost son. Now to get back home, Lebron and the Tunes have to unravel Al G’s mysterious plan and win an epic basketball game against digital gamified super-versions of the NBA and WNBA’s biggest stars as the entire world watches.
Below you can see pictures EW shared which show various shots from the film, including a CGI rendered Bugs Bunny.
Directed by Malcolm D. Lee, Jam: A New Legacy comes out July 16 in theaters and on HBO Max.
