Spike Lee’s fruitless film
This spring, news came out that Spike Lee—Michael Jackson’s friend, fan, and music video director—was going to make a film praising him.
The film, titled "Brooklyn Loves Michael Jackson," is about staging a tribute concert in Brooklyn’s city park and the opposition and concerns of some wealthy neighbors. It was said that actors such as Samuel Jackson, Julianne Moore, John Turturro, Anthony Mackie, and Rosie Perez would star in it.
But it seems this project isn’t going well. When a fan recently asked Spike Lee how the film was progressing, he said the film wasn’t moving forward—and then he answered the rest of the questions.
This film has been very special and important to Lee, who is an avid fan and has held two Michael’s birthday celebrations in Brooklyn over the past two years. After Michael’s death, he went to his childhood home in Gary and made a documentary. He also made an unofficial video based on the song This Is It. Whether this film will actually be made or not is still unclear.
