"Chiraq (Spike Lee, 2016)"


  

          

J-Hud, Samuel L, Dave Chappelle, Wesley Snipes, John Cusack, Nick Cannon, Common, Jeremy Piven, and undoubtedly he'll add more. And it's being shot by Matthew Libatique, one of the best cinematographers alive.

Does Spike have another great movie in him?

It's a retelling of a Greek play so it'll be stilted dialogue
Nov 04th 2015
