According to The Wrap, Nance has begun advanced negotiations to direct LeBron James in the highly-anticipated Space Jam sequel. The project has steadily gained steam since James signed a production deal for the upcoming reboot more than two years ago. Since then, Justin Lin (Fast and Furious) has entered and exited talks for the director's chair, and a script has reportedly materialized from Andrew Dodge (Bad Words,) though James will need to approve of the script before officially signing on as captain of the Tune Squad, defender of Earth. No word on whether we can expect a Bill Murray sighting.
