It’s getting really hard to keep track of all the hypothetical movies to emerge from the Sony leak, as more weirdly fascinating projects keep popping up.
First, there was the 23 Jump Street/Men in Black crossover. Then, there was the bizarre Will Ferrell/Donald Sterling project. Finally, there’s a Super Mario Bros. reboot. Now, it looks like Spike Lee’s long-gestating School Daze follow-up is targeting two big names to co-star: Drake (who would, naturally, play the role of "PE*NIS") and Sony's favorite “whore,” Kevin Hart (who would star as "DAT N***A JIGGA" ).
The email that revealed all this information came from Lee’s agent Doug Belgrad, who said that “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.”
Unfortunately, it doesn’t seem like Sony believed in it all that much. The email was dated from last spring and there has been nary a whisper about it going forward since then. Maybe if Lee replaced Hart with Diddy, he’d be able to get the studio’s attention?
