Spike Lee’s last feature, 2008’s “Miracle at St. Anna” didn’t do that well at the box office, though for his latest ‘Joint’ he’s gone back to his Brooklyn roots for a “Red Hook Summer.” In the film he reprises his character ‘Mookie,’ from “Do The Right Thing,” though supposedly that character is the only thing […]
Here’s the trailer for Tim Story‘s “Think Like A Man,” which I am interested in seeing–not because it looks entertaining–it does–but because it’s directed by Tim Story. Story directed “The Fantastic Four,” and “Fantastic Four: Rise of the Silver Surfer,” among others, two films that weren’t that great, but whose weakness was due more to […]
According to Deadline, Red Tails is doing great business, though the article makes sure to include caveats about why that will possibly not be the case for too much longer (it’s strongly implied that because it appeals primarily to African-American audiences that it will not be able to maintain box office strength). This is an […]
Sorry about the delay on this one (damn work;). According to Deadline, Josh Brolin has signed up for Spike Lee’s “Oldboy.” I want to call it a remake of Chan-wook Park’s film, but it seems that it’s based upon the manga (which was the basis for the film).
I just learned something (which is not as unusual as some might think;): The only Spike Lee Joint that wasn’t profitable was “Miracle At St. Anna,” and I assumed that was because the box office had spoken. And Box Office Mojo, seemed to confirm that perspective, seeing that the film earned almost $8 million in […]
According to Aintitcoolnews.com, Josh Brolin is being sought for a lead role in Spike Lee’s take on Chan wook-Park’s “Oldboy.” It’s seems like a good choice, because onscreen he can appear somewhat volatile, which is perhaps not too different from real life if the bar fight during the filming of Oliver Stone’s “W” is any indicator.
Spike Lee has confirmed that he is doing “Oldboy,” according to Aintitcoolnews. The article makes the point of telling us that it’s a remake of Chan wook-Park’s film, not the anime. Also, according to Blackfilm he’s revisiting some of the characters from his breakout 1989 film, “Do The Right Thing” in “Red Hook Summer.” Spike Lee, despite what […]
Yesterday, I read on Aintitcool.com that Spike Lee was going to direct a film version of “Oldboy.” What is uncertain is whether “Oldboy” is based upon Park Chan-wook’s 2003 movie or the anime “Oldboy” (the basis of the “Oldboy” movie). Originally Justin Lin (“The Fast And Furious: Tokyo Drift”) was in the running for this […]
