It'll never win a Razzie.
Adam Sandler isn't in it and thus they have no need to spite it.

...the film's been in development for years. Like, LeBron's been linked with it since he first became an All-Star. I hate the fact you guys are making me defend a trailer for a movie that was almost directed by Terence Nance. The film may have been in development hell for years however the script that was used was written in April 2019 and then shot later that year. The film just looks like it went "lets do Ready Player One again!" But it was only one trailer. And Ready Player One was based on a book that heavily relied on that so of course it was going to be that. Like, look, if the next trailer is just that stuff, cool, but it feels way more obvious to me this is the final climatic basketball scene or even at least the first one.

However its known that they are going to be "visiting other cinematic worlds", I needed this trailer to kinda show me it was going to do it in a Lego Movie esque way instead of what this was. This feels like it's gonna be terrible which sucks because of having such nostalgia for the first

Honestly I think it looks fine to me. Doesn't take itself seriously and is about having fun

Yeah, was unaware for the moment. You can also still get there from Spacejam.com on the main page in the top right there's a Space Jam logo... if you click it, it will take you to the original one.

What’s really lost in all this is Space Jam itself f***ing sucked. I wouldn’t say it sucks but honestly, if you replaced all the Looney Tunes with Disney Afternoon characters, you’d barely have to change anything about the movie itself. There’s a reason Back in Action is better and that’s because it’s a Looney Tunes movie first and foremost and not a Michael Jordan movie with the LT wedged in.

It's also confirmed that Zendaya is the new voice for Lola. Why not bring back Kath Soucie?

Back in Action isn’t anywhere as fun as Space Jam. And that’s because its lead in Brendan Fraser isn’t quite as charismatic as Michael Jordan.
The Looney Tunes seemed to get roughly an equal amount of screen time in both movies, so I gotta judge them another way.
Granted, Fraser’s got way way more range as an actor and MJ just has to play himself, but if you were to put Fraser next to MJ at any public get together, who comes off more larger than life? Who radiates more cool?
Besides, I like stories where Bugs has to sweat and seems genuinely concerned he’s not gonna win. (Another reason why I liked the Looney Tunes Show so much.)

People keep comparing this trailer to "Ready Player One" which I'm sure is fair...
...but for some reason I see this as WB's answer to the second Wreck-It Ralph movie.

Dude, you’re good people, your heart is in the right place at times and you at least are willing to see the good in things. There is no planet in the multiverse where I can agree with this in any way. And yeah, I did read the rest. My biggest problem with Space Jam is that Jordan throughout it all is a) dryer than the dryest of drywalls and b) acts entirely above everything going on on screen. You take away the fun aspect of the whole concept if the dude just acts like he’d rather be anywhere else 95% of the time. It’s ridiculous. Fraser is better because he’s not above it. He runs towards it and embraces it full barrels. THAT is what you want for a protagonist in a Looney Tunes movie. Also, he punches himself in the face. Could Jordan punch himself in the face? The defense rests!
