How’s this for crazy?

Months after a seemingly fake poster for a rumored Space Jam 2 movie starring LeBron James circulated online (see right), the project is reportedly in development for real.

According to Deadline, famed sports broadcaster Dick Ebersols’ sons are developing the sequel for Warner Bros., with Charlie Ebersol’s production company producing the movie while brother Willie Ebersol will write the script.

The film is intended to be James’ first starring vehicle, though the deal is NOT official yet.

The original Space Jam, starring Michael Jordan and a slew of other sports and celebrity figures, was released in 1996 and grossed $230 million worldwide.

Would you see James in Space Jam 2 – and do you think the Ebersols were behind the original poster stunt?
