The filmmaker and actor are also both massive Knicks fans.
Fans are used to seeing Spike Lee and Timothée Chalamet together courtside at New York Knicks games, but could a movie collaboration be next?
The Oscar-winning filmmaker recently set the record straight on The Bill Simmons Podcast that there’s no beef between him and the actor over who’s the biggest Hollywood Knicks fan.
“I feel Chalamet is on your corner a little bit, and I want to make sure you’re good, because he’s become the signature Knicks fan,” host Bill Simmons claimed. “He’s kinda in your real estate. Have you hashed this out? What’s going on here?”
The Highest 2 Lowest director confirmed there’s “no rivalry” and “no competition at all” between them and that he actually hopes to work with Chalamet on a film together in the future.
“Look, he’s a good guy, he’s a real [Knicks] fan, he’s a great actor, and we’ve talked about doing a film together once his schedule clears up,” Lee said, before adding with a laugh, “The next four or five years.”
He added that their film will “have nothing to do with sports.”
Unfortunately for Lee, Chalamet does seem quite packed at the moment, as he’ll be headed out on a press tour later this year for his movie Marty Supreme. He’ll also be shooting James Mangold’s next film, High Side, as well as filming Denis Villeneuve’s Dune: Part Three, which is set to hit theaters in December 2026.
The Malcolm X filmmaker also has a lot on his plate right now, as he’s currently promoting his new movie, Highest 2 Lowest, starring Denzel Washington and Jeffrey Wright. He’s also working on his upcoming projects, Prince of Cats and Da Understudy.

None of the previous Spike Lee films has a white leading man role.
I’ve seen all of them except two:
“The Answer”..
This short film, made during his time at NYU’s film school, challenging D.W. Griffith’s”The Birth of a Nation”.
and
“Joe’s Bed-Stuy Barbershop: We Cut Heads”. Lee’s thesis film, which he completed as part of his Master of Fine Arts degree at NYU.
Black roles.
People who know Spike Lee won’t know Chalamet, and vice versa. Reminds me of when McCartney and Kanye did a duo years ago; one of my adult students told about how he was watching the video with his son, the son knew Kanye but didn’t know the old guy, while he knew Paul but didn’t know the young guy.
“Spike Lee? Isn’t he that guy who used to be somebody about 40 years ago? Seems like I heard that name once upon a time.”
A never was. All of his movies suck.
Never heard of him. I also thought Spike Lee was dead.
I saw Dune. He was awful. Unless they want to do a movie about that guy who killed the United Healthcare guy, but not if they want to do it the sick way the left turns a murderer into a hero just because they hate the victim. He’d need to be the creepy villain.
His success is largely because of the Hollywood crowd’s White Guilt.
He became their darling in the late 1980’s and those folks have praised everything he’s done while patting themselves on the back and feeling all warm and fuzzy.
Knicks suck.
Do The Right Thing is ok.
The Malcolm X movie was worth it, just for the one scene where the stupid white liberal college student asked Malcolm what she could do to help him, and Malcolm told her, “Nothing!”
Sounds like what Fredrick Douglas said, “ just let us be. You have done too much too us already. May piss be upon LBJ.
Except it wasn’t a duo, Rihanna was singing with them. Your student needed another relative there who didn’t know who McCartney and West were but knew who Rihanna was.
