'Space Jam: A New Legacy' to premiere on HBO Go this September

The Philippine market is finally going to be able to see "Space Jam: A New Legacy."

The movie featuring basketball legend LeBron James is premiering this September on HBO Go!

In the official trailer released on YouTube Friday, LeBron and his son, Dom, get trapped in a digital space by a rogue A.I.

In order to get his son back, LeBron finds himself  transformed into an animated cartoon in Tune World as he allies with Bugs, Lola Bunny and the whole gang of Looney Tunes to battle against the A.I's digitized roster of professional basketball superstars and get his son back.

In a statement, LeBron shared how valuable "Space Jam" was to him growing up.

"When I was 12 years old, I needed inspiration where I was growing up. Michael Jordan was one of those people who gave me inspiration, along with my mother. When I think back on watching ‘Space Jam,’ always having a love for Bugs Bunny and the Looney Tunes, and then you add Michael Jordan, one of my favorite inspirations growing up? It felt like it was a match made in heaven for me," the basketball player said.

Twenty-five years since the original film was released, LeBron finds himself starring in the very film that inspired him.

“It’s an honor for me to be a part of the ‘Space Jam’ world, to be able to reintroduce it to kids today and show them how unbelievable the Looney Tunes are, and how great our sport of basketball is, as well," he added.

Cedric Joe, who stars as LeBron's son in the film, also shared that the film is something people should see no matter the age.

"It does have a message, that parents should sometimes open their eyes and see that their kids or other people can do more, that they have more skills than what you might think they have. Don’t underestimate people. Just listen," Cedric said.

Directed by Malcolm D. Lee, "Space Jam: A New Legacy" features Oscar nominee Don Cheadle, Zendaya, Khris Davis, Sonequa Martin-Green, Jeff Bergman, and Eric Bauza.

The film is set to exclusively premiere on September 3 on HBO Go. — LA, GMA News
