Michelle Walsh – Senior Director Marketing & Communication – Majid Al Futtaim Shopping Malls
said: “Being able to introduce the “Space Jam: A New Legacy” experience to the UAE and for the first time in the Middle East is an exciting journey for us at Majid Al Futtaim. This experience is an extension of our vision to deliver exceptional value for all our customers as it coincides with the movie premiere in VOX Cinemas. This experience will also serve as the perfect opportunity to welcome people of all ages to engage with the interactive games and activities planned indoors to beat the summer heat. It not only brings the movie to life, but it also encourages people to be more active during the day when it’s too hot to engage in any outdoor activities.”
A themed kids activity area will keep the young ones on their toes! This includes games like a Looney Tunes character puzzle, free throw basketball challenge and a coloring wall, just to name a few. Many photo opportunities, including the ultimate UV room for that perfect Instagrammable photo makes this experience one not to miss!
Additionally, visitors will have the chance to meet members of the Tune Squad, with Bugs and Lola Bunny greeting fans at the experience!
The movie, “Space Jam: A New Legacy”, starring LeBron James, is set to start screening on July 15th and will be in cinemas throughout the experience and can be viewed at City Centre Mirdif VOX cinemas.
ABOUT “SPACE JAM: A NEW LEGACY”
NBA champion and global icon LeBron James goes on an epic adventure alongside timeless Tune Bugs Bunny with the animated/live-action film “Space Jam: A New Legacy” from director Malcolm D. Lee and an innovative filmmaking team including Ryan Coogler and Maverick Carter. This transformational journey is a manic mashup of two worlds that reveals just how far some parents will go to connect with their kids. When LeBron and his young son Dom are trapped in a digital space by a rogue A.I., LeBron must get them home safe by leading Bugs, Lola Bunny and the whole gang of notoriously undisciplined Looney Tunes to victory over the A.I.’s digitized champions on the court: a powered-up roster of professional basketball stars as you’ve never seen them before.
James stars alongside Oscar nominee Don Cheadle (the “Avengers” films, “Hotel Rwanda”), Khris Davis (“Judas and the Black Messiah,” TV’s “Atlanta”), Sonequa Martin-Green (TV’s “The Walking Dead,” “Star Trek: Discovery”), newcomer Cedric Joe, Jeff Bergman (“Looney Tunes Cartoons”), Eric Bauza (“Looney Tunes Cartoons”), and Zendaya (upcoming “Dune,” “Malcolm & Marie”). Lee directs from a screenplay by Juel Taylor & Tony Rettenmaier & Keenan Coogler & Terence Nance and Jesse Gordon and Celeste Ballard, story by Juel Taylor & Tony Rettenmaier & Keenan Coogler & Terence Nance and Terence Nance. Based on “Space Jam,” written by Leo Benvenuti & Steve Rudnick and Timothy Harris & Herschel Weingrod. The film’s producers are Ryan Coogler, LeBron James, Maverick Carter and Duncan Henderson, and the executive producers are Sev Ohanian, Zinzi Coogler, Allison Abbate, Jesse Ehrman, Jamal Henderson, Spencer Beighley, Justin Lin, Terence Nance and Ivan Reitman.
