Space Jam 2

Nice. I would probably make one subtle change: Space Jam: Ready Player Tune.. since the team is named Tune Squad. Hows that?

This stuff writes itself!

Why aren’t we running WB marketing? Or, you know, the world...!?

Not exactly a trailer, rather a promotional dealy:

Still, we get a quick glimpse of the tunes in their new uniform. Look nice! Lola doesn't appear to be redesigned from that earlier rumor. Going to be weird to see and hear her act like her original self. I was always a fan, but "The Looney Tunes Show" really fleshed out her personality and made her not be so ordinary. Kristen Wiig played a big part, too. Love crazy Lola!

Oh, and Penelope!! Finally acknowledgement!

New shot shows other cartoon heroes will be joining the looney tunes or cheering them on!

Space ghost
Magilla Gorilla
Flintstones
Animaniacs

are in the film.

Also bugs is cg in this clip but 2d in the other. Will bugs start out in 2d then get turned into 3d in the film?

Yep, called it: Archive fans made Warner come crawling back to selling Hanna-Barbera as a house brand.

(Even though the studio's resentful insecurities still instinctively associate it with Space Ghost and Magilla Gorilla...What, no Wally Gator or Kwicky Koala?)

Yes, because the few hundred discs that HB titles sell really made WB sit up and think about that...as opposed to just someone being tasked at filling the spectator seats with as many characters that they own the rights to.

That's Space Ghost AND Fred Flintstone, remember. Warner wants to remind us they own other pop-culturally recognized H-B characters besides Scooby.

Come to think of it, they spent one of the last Scooby-Doo movies telling us they owned other pop-culturally recognized H-B characters besides Scooby.

I think it’s more that they own LOTS of different IP, not just HB stuff. And they’ll lean on the most recognisable faces that the wider public may notice, or have at least half an idea of who they are. Hence why they pick who they pick, nothing more.

Space Jam is just the vessel for them to launch a WB Universe, not even just made up of their animated characters. Mixing WB and HB, plus other franchises, suggests they’re not just interested in putting all their cartoons together, but creating a massive Ready Player One type collision of characters and references, appropriate or not. There’s no plan.,.this is just a shove them all in to make it, er, "cool"...

Warner's obsession--literally--right now is saying "We own the REST of the stuff that Disney doesn't!", because they're still stuck in the 10's, where studios sell their movies like sneakers, with big logos and three-word "Just See It" taglines, coupled with the fact that their three biggest 10's house name franchises have just self-destructed.
(Four, if you count "It: Chapter Two", and the jury's still out on Wonder Woman.)

They've spent the last five years scraping the last of their House Franchise barrel with bloody fingernails, and when (they believed) the only way they could market the Looneys was believing that the fans "only remembered" Space Jam, they literally Bet the House on it. If it's Warner (and even if it isn't, but they want to think it is), it'll be dribbling a basketball.

To borrow the Blazing Saddles-ism, this may be the last act of a desperate studio, but I don't care if it's the first act of Henry V.

It: Chapter II didn’t bomb, no matter how many times Eric might like to claim it did for...reasons?

Post by **Ben** » January 18th, 2021, 5:26 pm

And, of course, It was a finite two film deal. Not like they had anywhere else to go with it...other than maybe two prequels and a "where are they now?" update that King hasn’t written yet...

Andy Muschietti clearly got his personal self-indulgent taste of Lost World Syndrome for his big studio sequel, but it was pretty easy to see why the hardcore Pennyheads gave up on this one early after getting their story completion. (They only wanted the 80's-homage kids-on-bikes childhood trauma stuff from the first one anyway.)
Yeah, it didn't bomb on that first weekend going in, did it?

But, again, it won't stop Warner from saying "Pennywise, Voldemort and The Joker...They're our own personal Cruella deVilles!"
