It’s been 20 years since Space Jam the movie, first released. November 15, 1996. Whether or not you were a sports fan, Jordan fan, or cartoon fan we all at some point sat down and watched Space Jam.
For a while now there have been talks of a reboot, but Space Jam Director Joe Pytka quickly shut the idea down in his Entertainment Weekly interview. In regards, to the idea and thought he stated,
“I think it’s ridiculous to try and make a different movie out of it. I can’t see it. I can’t imagine how it could be what that film was. Not that Space Jam is a great movie, but it had something that touched that period of time because of who those athletes were and it doesn’t exist anymore.”
“I’ve worked with LeBron and I’ve worked with Steph Curry, and as good a player as LeBron is and as good a player as Steph Curry is, they’re not Michael Jordan. We will never see another player like him. He was a transcendent figure, much like Muhammad Ali. He was beyond his sport. These guys aren’t.”
In honor of the anniversary the Space Jams will be releasing again this December, December 10th to be exact. The new version will be extremely similar to the pair MJ wore during the 1995 Playoffs. In addition, you should expect the shoe box to feature the Space Jam x Looney Tune theme.
Will you be in line?
