No matter what anyone says, I still love it when live-action mixes with animation. It's not so new and novel anymore but whenever I see it in movies or on TV, I just get so excited. I still can't believe it's possible and I always find it so adorable. And the best example of it yet is the new movie, "Space Jam: A New Legacy."
As you could probably tell, I was a huge fan of the first "Space Jam" movie with Michael Jordan. And how awesome it is that Lebron James, this generation's ultimate NBA superstar, now stars in this one. I'm not a huge follower of the NBA or anything but even I know how huge James is, both in the sports and entertainment world. I also always love it when athletes try their hand at acting. I don't know, I just find it so charming, especially when they star in comedies like this one. And for James to act alongside the likes of Don Cheadle and Zendaya? He's got some big basketball-sized cojones!
Nevertheless, I'm excited to see the movie. I haven't yet but based on the trailer, I know it's going to be the bomb! But to be fair, part of my excitement is the fact that I have a few copies of the movie poster that are actually signed by the cast themselves! Who wouldn't be excited if you got that, right?
Now, I know you're all wondering how I got something this amazing in the first place. The truth is that I have a few Hollywood connections. He's a PA for someone important who also worked in the film. He was present at both the live-action filming and the voice-over recordings. So yeah, he got a chance to meet, see, and hear the cast in action. Knowing that I live for autographed movie memorabilia, he took the risk of embarrassing himself by asking some members of the cast for their autographs.
My friend never really disclosed a lot of details. All he told me was that he acquired a few copies of the movie poster from the art team and then approached certain stars during their break time. As far as how these stars are in person, he did spill a little tea. He said that Lebron James is nice but very intimidating. And when he's in a bad mood, it can really affect the filming. Don Cheadle, on the other hand, was professional all the way. He was reportedly the best performer out of all of them. Meanwhile, my friend (who's not exactly into standing for celebrities) also fell in love with Zendaya, letting me know just how charming she is in person.
Listening to his stories made me wish I was actually there to ask for their autographs myself. But sometimes, you just gotta appreciate what life gives you! I'm so excited to see this movie, especially now that I have some insight into how awesome the cast is!
Please note: Our inventory is limited as we may have only received a few posters in total. Most of our items are obtained from film premieres, studios, and from autographed hounds such as the one in the story above.
