MTV: Could you snap your fingers and make a musical happen? More broadly, at this point in your career, are there films you want to do but can’t?
Lee: Oh, yes. I have a black-biopic, no-money trilogy: Jackie Robinson. Joe Louis and James Brown. Those are three films I have scripts for and am trying to get done but have been unsuccessful so far.
MTV: What do you feel is the resistance to those movies?
Lee: They don’t think there’s a market for it, they’re not interested. Or they think it costs too much. So that’s one of those reasons why studios don’t make anything.
And this is why Hollywood sucks. There is no doubt that these films would be nothing but quality coming from Spiz’ike, and they provide a way for the youth of this generation to see the these Black Icons on the big screen, but dont hold your breath on these. All the suits see is duckets, which is understandable, but dont expect them to front any for these pics anytime soon. I thought I would report it to piss you off anyway though.
