“Space Jam was always scheduled to come out in June 2021, “James said earlier on the Road Trippin podcast. “That we’re pretty ok. And a lot of it’s animation now, so indoors is actually great for us. That’s what we’re still up to. Just like everything in the world, everything is slowed down a bit, but we’re still on purpose. I’m looking forward to it. At this time in the moment, I wish we could release it at this point, man, and give people some things to see in their households. But we’re up until next year, next summer. We are excited about it. “
The first Space Jam was released in 1996 starring Michael Jordan, along with the likes of Charles Barkley, Larry Johnson, Muggsy Bogues, David Ewing, Shawn Bradley, Wayne Knight, Larry Byrd, and Bill Murray.
