Well here’s another interesting twist in the Sony email leak.
In an email sent to Doug Belgrad, president of Sony Pictures Entertainment, Spike Lee’s agent Bart Walker detailed a script for School Daze Too. Lee, apparently intended for Drake and Kevin Hart to star in the sequel of the 1988 classic:
“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. The budget is $ 9 million (net, after Georgia tax credits), not including historic costs, star salaries, creative producer fees,” the email read. “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? ”
Earlier this year, Lee confirmed that he indeed finished a script for the School Daze sequel.
Well, if plans progress, it could be interesting.
