Spike Lee’s next project will be a movie musical about the origin story of Viagra, Pfizer’s erectile dysfunction drug.
The Entertainment One film is based on David Kushner’s Esquire article titled “All Rise: The Untold Story of the Guys Who Launched Viagra.”
Lee is directing the untitled musical from a screenplay he wrote with Kwame Kwei-Armah. The movie will feature original songs and music penned by Stew Stewart and Heidi Rodewald, the duo behind the Tony-winning musical “Passing Strange.”
In a statement, Lee said, “First And Foremost,I Thank Ms. Jacquelyn Shelton Lee. I Thank My Late Mother For As She Would Say Taking “My Narrow,Rusty Behind” Dragging,Kickin’ And Screamin’ To The Movies When I Wuz A Nappy Headed Kid Growing Up In Da Streets Of Da People’s Republic Of Brooklyn.

Title:
“Hard Lee!”
That’s ought to be an elevating experience.
In his defense, Spike Lee may have performed an important public service by glamorizing the sideways shooting style in his insipid “gangsta” flicks. I can’t imagine John Wayne, the Lone Ranger, Annie Oakley, Dirty Harry, etc hitting the broad side of a barn using the sideways shooting method
Starring Woody Harrelson?
That might face copyright infringement. They can’t use “Shaft” or “Big” for the same reason. Although they are asking for Robert Redford’s permission to go with “Jeremiah’s Johnson”.
“Up All Night” by Boomtown Rats.
With a guest appearance by jeffry toobin.
Spike Lee has been pretty prolific as a director - but can he keep it up...………..
Mandingo comes to mind as well
Is there gonna be a song about "My Little Blue Friend"?
I predict a flop.
I’ll take her over J-Lo any day, tops down.-)
He did a "dancing stage show inside a movie" 20 years ago, Bamboozled, which was of course another Spike Lee screed about race, but featured the exceptional tap dancer Savion Glover.
What is with the left’s obsession with sex?
Not so much an obsession with sex....more like obsession with the penis. Sigmund Freud would be inventing whole new complexes.
