Warner Bros. announces deal with LeBron's production company; 'Space Jam' reboot next?
He's already starred in a movie this summer, but LeBron James is really going Hollywood now.
James' production company, Spring Hill, has announced a partnership with Warner Bros. Entertainment focused on content creation.
"So proud of today's announcement!" the Cleveland Cavaliers superstar tweeted. "Can't wait to bring you guys some amazing stories." Almost immediately, speculation turned to the 1996 film "Space Jam," which the studio owns the rights to.

Michael Jordan starred in the animated original, and James would be the logical choice now.
James' Spring Hill Productions is also currently working on a TV game show set to ultimately air on NBC.
