Space Jam, the much-loved cartoon/live action hybrid from 1996, starring Bugs Bunny and co, alongside basketball giant Michael Jordan looks to be getting a sequel.

According to The Hollywood Reporter, Justin Lin (who directed four of the Fast and Furious films) will be working with writers Andrew Dodge and Alfredo Botello to come up with a sequel to the 90’s classic starring basketball player LeBron James.
