With more and more information making its way to the Internet from Sony’s recent security breach, one of the latest revelations comes from an email from Spike Lee’s agent to the head of Sony Pictures Entertainment about a possible follow-up to the director’s 1988 movie School Daze. In the email, Lee’s agent, Doug Belgrad, offers up the possibility of the sequel to Sony with ambitions to secure both Drake and Kevin Hart for the project’s lead roles.
“This is a new draft that Spike has written after meetings with Drake, who will play the lead role of PE*NIS, and Kevin Hart who will play DAT NIGGA JIGGA,” Belgrad wrote. “The budget is $ 9 million (net, after Georgia tax credits), not including historic costs, star salaries, creative producer fees. I believe in the film both as an entertainment — a college film — and as a provocative and exciting piece about the conflict of traditional values (education, college) and hip hop/star/celebrity culture. Why go to college to get a job to make money when you can make more money rapping, stripping, and creating salacious music videos even if they demean women? ”
Despite the recent news, Sony has not commented on the possibility of the sequel and the project has yet to be confirmed by either Spike Lee himself or the studio.
Last year, Lee revealed that he had finished a script for School Daze Too.
“Hopefully I can get Laurence Fishburne to play Dap, he’ll be the president now of the school,” the director/producer said at the time. “It would deal with issues in HSBCUs today, some of the same stuff from the last film… like the pledging process, but also lots of new stuff, like homophobia… it’s a big subject in it… class issues, color, hair texture… but it’s stuff happening today.”
Earlier this year, Drake and Kevin Hart had a friendly back-and-forth on Instagram following the rapper’s shooting an airball during a college basketball pre-game. Hart’s Instagram post clowning Drake ended with a short clip of his own stand-up material and featured hashtags like #WhyIsHeInFulluniform, #CanadaHatesThatHeDidThis, and, #DrakeMakesBadDecisions.
For additional Drake coverage, watch the following DX Daily:
I bet Drake wouldn’t greedily ask for more money to tweet about a movie he’s starring in a la Kevin Hart, the least funny black “comedian” alive.
Kevin is a terrific comedian. His 1 minute scene in top five was way better than rocks terrible acting throughout in that film.
Chris Rock a terrible actor? Kevin Hart terrific and funny? You’re smoling bath salts and Molly.
Kevin Hart is funny the way a coon or rastus is funny. I’d expect Spike Lee to exploit the fact Kevin Hart is a coon.
Drake is actually funnier than Hart. I laugh every time I think about his name being Aubrey.
Aubrey is a very masculine name. It comes from the African Emperor Warrior who led his battalion into battle in the days when kings used to lead the charge on the front of the Army instead of hiding behind a nuclear button and someone elses child who had no college options. Aubrey is some real and deep knowledge. His Jewish mom gave her son a proud African name so he would know his heritage for when he grows up to ruin the genre of rap and act like a smarmy british woman before getting KOed by Diddy.
What is with Spike Lee naming his sequel “Too” instead of “2” or “II”?
hes copying dumb and dumber to as well as think like a man too
“This is a new draft that Spike has written after meetings with Drake, who will play the lead role of PE*NIS, and Kevin Hart who will play DAT NIGGA JIGGA,” Seems legit..
Please don’t use Kevin Hart.
No one to see him act like Beeeyatch Ass. Shit’s old……….
