Space Jam(1996) ##HOT##
In outer space, the amusement park Moron Mountain is in decline. The proprietor, Mr. Swackhammer, learns of the Looney Tunes from the Nerdlucks, his quintet of minions, and orders them to abduct the Looney Tunes to serve as attractions. The Nerdlucks enter the Looney Tunes' universe underground and hold them hostage before Bugs Bunny convinces them to allow the Looney Tunes to defend themselves. The Looney Tunes challenge the Nerdlucks to a basketball game, noting the latter's small stature. The Nerdlucks research the sport and infiltrate various games, stealing the talents of Charles Barkley, Shawn Bradley, Patrick Ewing, Larry Johnson, and Muggsy Bogues. The Nerdlucks use these talents to transform into gigantic, muscular creatures known as Monstars, and the Looney Tunes realize that they need professional help.
Space Jam(1996)
In 1992 and 1993, two Super Bowl Nike ads, "Hare Jordan" and "Aerospace Jordan" respectively, aired on television and featured Michael Jordan with the character Bugs Bunny.[3][8] Wieden+Kennedy creative director Jim Riswold conceived the "Hare Jordan" campaign following the popularity of advertisements where Jordan played with Mars Blackmon (played by Spike Lee), a character from She's Gotta Have It (1986); he chose Bugs Bunny for his next campaign because the character was his "childhood hero".[3] Directed by Joe Pytka, "Hare Jordan" took six months and a $1 million budget to make.[3] It was hindered by reluctance from Warner Bros. to allow Nike to modernize Bugs' character; however, the commercial success of both ads "was a nice bit of research for Warner Bros. to understand that the Bugs character still had relevance and to tie it in with Michael", explained Pytka.[9] This led to the company green-lighting a film featuring Jordan and Bugs, which came out of a plane meeting between a Nike executive and producer Ivan Reitman.[8][3] Jordan was offered movie deals previously, but his manager, David Falk, turned them all down because he felt the basketball icon could only act as himself.[3]
Concept drawings and discussions between the animators and Pytka about how the animation would be incorporated into the live-action shots took place on set during shooting, and re-writes to the script would be done daily.[11] As an experienced commercial and music video director working on a sports film, Pytka took on fast, unlimited camera movements and Dutch angles;[17][11] this made integrating the characters into the shots challenging for the animators.[17] To connect the real and animated worlds together, blue-screen shots of miniatures by Vision Crew Unlimited were used; these include a Christo-inspired interpretation of The Forum arena for exterior shots, city rooftops for a transition scene with a wide skyline view of Chicago serving as the chroma-keyed background,[27] and space ship parts initially produced by Boss Film Studios for a Philip Morris advertisement.[22]
The film's official website spacejam.com, created in 1996 alongside promotion of the film, remained unchanged but active for 25 years prior to the release of the film's sequel, an unusual aspect to film promotion websites. The site was one of the earliest film promotion websites, and included a number of unrefined web design facets, such as heavy use of animated GIFs. While the site's content had been moved under Warner Bros.'s site around 2003, the site's design gained a resurgence of interest around 2010 as an historical artifact of the early days of the web, and Warner Bros. returned the site to the spacejam.com address in response.[54] Following the release of Space Jam: A New Legacy's first trailer in April 2021, the website was updated for promotion of the new film, though the 1996 content remained available as a separate landing page.[55]
With the hype building around Space Jam: A New Legacy, there's no better time to put Michael Jordan's Air Jordans from the original 1996 film up for auction. At least, we're assuming that's what the Sotheby's team thought when they listed the deadstock player shoes as one of the rarest pair of Jordans in existence and slapped on a bid estimate of $150,000 to $200,000. The size 13 sneakers feature Jordan's signature in silver ink and a purple Jumpman logo, and they come in a custom wood and velvet cushioned box. Pretty impressive, eh? \nThe sneaker silhouette was designed by legendary Nike designer Tinker Hatfield, who wanted to create a shape that would best suit Jordan's movements during gameplay but also appear stylish (because of the patent leather uppers, the Jordans can also be worn with a suit). The current bid is set at $65,000, though we expect that number to rise by the time the auction closes on Monday, July 26. After all, Mike faced off against the alien \"Monstars\" in these kicks, so even if they're in deadstock condition, they maintain quite the appeal. \nAhead, embrace that undeniable pang of nostalgia you immediately feel when you see MJ wearing the shoes on screen next to Bugs, then see different angles of the pair that's currently up for grabs. \n\n Related:\n\n \n \n \n \n\n Zendaya Looked More
