SPACE JAM 2 Will Film in California

Warner Bros.' Space Jam 2, starring LeBron James and produced by Ryan Coogler, will be filmed in California, according to The Hollywood Reporter.

Space Jam 2 is one of 15 film projects that have been selected to take part in the state's incentives program in its latest allocation round. Others include Andy Samberg's Palm Springs, Universal's Marry Me and 24/7, Lionsgate's Margaritaville and 20th Century Fox's The Boy Who Knew Too Much and Mouse Guard .

"One of the goals for Program 2.0 is to bring production jobs and spending to regions across the state, and we're beginning to see that happen more often and on a larger scale," said the California Film Commission's executive director Amy Lemisch. "We're thrilled to see Program 2.0 have such far-reaching benefits."

$73.3 million in tax credits has been reserved for the new projects, which are on track to generate $370 million in qualified expenditures. An estimated 2,300 crew, 750 cast and 28,000 extras/stand-ins over a combined 554 shoot days will be employed. Space Jam 2 is set to generate more than $100 million in qualified spending, including almost $43.2 million in below-the-line wages.
