Spike Lee says he won't shop around his scrapped ESPN Colin Kaepernick doc: 'That thing fell apart a year ago'
The news that Spike Lee 's ESPN documentary about former NFL quarterback Colin Kaepernick is being scrapped may have only broken yesterday, but to Lee, it's old hat. "That thing fell apart a year ago," Lee, 68, told Business Insider in an interview on Tuesday while promoting his latest movie, "Highest 2 Lowest." "No one had ever asked me about it. I was on a red carpet and a guy asked me the question, I wasn't going to lie." On Friday, Reuters asked the Oscar-winning director about the docuseries, to which Lee responded, "It's not coming out. That's all I can say." ESPN confirmed the news in a statement, which it also provided to Business Insider for this story. "ESPN, Colin Kaepernick and Spike Lee have collectively decided to no longer proceed with this project as a result of certain creative differences," the statement read. "Despite not reaching finality, we appreciate all the hard work and collaboration that went into this film." Lee also told Business Insider that he has no plans to try to sell the project to another network or streaming service. "No, it's unfortunate, but I mean, I've moved on," Lee said. "That was a year ago." Business Insider reached out to Kaepernick for comment but didn't get an immediate response. The docuseries was first announced in 2020, and Lee became attached to the project in 2022. It was touted as delivering an extensive look at the former QB through never-before-seen archival footage and new interviews. Kaepernick, 37, who played for the San Francisco 49ers from 2011 to 2016, was at the center of a media firestorm when he began kneeling during the national anthem to protest police brutality and racism. In 2017, he opted out of his contract with the 49ers and was never signed by another team, essentially ending his NFL career. In 2019, he privately settled his grievance against the NFL for collusion among the team owners.

Spike Lee Says Trump Should ‘Think Twice' if He Considers a Federal Takeover of New York: ‘The Boogie-Down? Harlem?'
"This is a scary time," the "Do the Right Thing" director tells the Rev. Al Sharpton on MSNBC Spike Lee's characters say 'Wake up!' in 'Do the Right Thing,' 'School Daze' and 'Malcolm X' – and now the director has put the signature line in his weekend MSNBC appearance, too. Speaking with 'Politics Nation' host Rev. Al Sharpton on Saturday to promote the Denzel Washington film 'Highest 2 Lowest,' Lee said the Trump administration's federal law-enforcement takeover in Washington, D.C., wouldn't go quite the same if the president tried it in New York City. More from TheWrap Sabrina Carpenter, Busta Rhymes, Ricky Martin, J Balvin and More Set to Perform at 2025 VMAs John Oliver Marvels at Trump-Putin Meeting Going 'So Badly' Even Fox News Couldn't Spin It 'Drag Race' EP Explains How Pop Culture and RuPaul Himself Inspire the Show's Challenges 'Fallout' Debuts First-Look Images for Season 2, Teasing New Vegas 'This country right now is … it's bananas, and this and this guy trying to take over D.C. and just weaponize these things,' Lee said. 'And I mean, he's going to think twice [if he tries] to do that in New York though. The Boogie Down? Harlem?' Sharpton agreed, saying that it would 'be a different kind of reaction.' Chuckling with glee, Lee responded: 'Oh yeah. It's gonna be very different.' Sharpton asked Lee what he thought about Trump mobilizing federal agents and National Guard troops 'in heavily Black and brown cities with Black mayors,' given how Lee has portrayed authoritarian law enforcement throughout his films. 'They're weaponizing these other agencies of the United States government,' Lee said more gravely. 'And this is — this is a scary time. The last word in 'School Daze' … my brother … Lawrence Fishburne saying, 'Wake up!' And the first line in 'Do the Right Thing' you know — Samuel Jackson saying, 'Wake up.' So we need to wake up. We need to wake up. You know, it's some serious times and we gotta be on point and just be in the moment and see this three-card-monte game — watch the black, watch the black, watch the black! … you can't win.' 'Highest 2 Lowest' is in theaters now. Watch the entire exchange in the video above.

Spike Lee's Self-Aware Brooklyn Satire
Spike Lee loves fanfare. So many of the films in the director's career begin with some sort of rousing opening-credits sequence: the 'Fight the Power' dance that introduces Do the Right Thing, the thumping Bollywood number that kicks off Inside Man. But his song choice for Highest 2 Lowest, his latest effort, has a particular air of top-of-the-world triumph. As the camera circles around a glassy skyscraper in Downtown Brooklyn, 'Oh, What a Beautiful Mornin'' from the musical Oklahoma! trills on the soundtrack. Living in a fabulous suite atop this edifice is the music producer David King, played by Lee's longtime collaborator Denzel Washington, who surveys his borough with wily confidence. Highest 2 Lowest is a remake of High and Low, a 1960s masterpiece by Akira Kurosawa, and Lee's version broadly retains the story's structure and hook, in which an over-leveraged businessman thinks his son has been kidnapped for ransom, then realizes his chauffeur's son was taken instead. But although Lee and Alan Fox, the film's screenwriter, tweak the story in contemporary directions, they also seem to be pumping the film with a bit of self-aware satire. Lee introduced cinemagoers to an entirely different perspective on Brooklyn with his 1986 debut feature, She's Gotta Have It; his protagonist was an effortlessly cool artist, also living on the Downtown Brooklyn waterfront. Almost 40 years later, the location remains the same, but the artist's loft has transformed into a luxury high-rise occupied by an impeccably tailored executive. Lee is poking a little fun at himself—the Brooklyn renegade on the art scene who has become a respected veteran. In reuniting with Washington for a fifth time—and for the first time since 2006's Inside Man —Lee is casting one of his defining creative partners as a similarly venerated figure who is at risk of turning stale. King lives a fabulous life that's somewhat removed from the real world; he still produces hip music, but his record label is about to be folded into a larger conglomerate. Lee is posing the question: What happens when a tastemaker is at risk of going to seed? Is there any way to reclaim his cool? The answer is yes, but in order to do so, he'll have to live through a hard-boiled hostage thriller and be reminded of the people who exist beneath his condo building. When the film begins, King already has some sense that his cachet is slipping away. He's scheming to undermine the acquisition of his label by buying it himself, committing all of his resources to a foolhardy plan in the name of creative integrity. As this plan spins into motion, though, he's told his teenage son has been kidnapped—and then realizes that his son is safe, but the son of his chauffeur, Paul (Jeffrey Wright), is missing instead. The first chunk of Highest 2 Lowest mulls this odd moral dilemma: whether King should pony up the massive ransom demanded for someone who isn't family. He decides to, which kicks another twist-and-turning plot into motion as King and the NYPD officers on the case try to track down the kidnapper. This is a film that extends beyond the traditional three acts, told with the same shaggy style that has defined a lot of Lee's recent features (including the fantastic Da 5 Bloods and the Oscar-winning BlacKkKlansman). The first chunk of Highest 2 Lowest is undoubtedly the weakest, a mess of exposition and choppy editing told with such chaos that I almost started to wonder if it was intentional; perhaps Lee is trying to drop us into the discombobulated King's mindset, especially once the character is struggling with the stress of so many threatening, anonymous phone calls. Planned or not, that mess is smoothed out as the film proceeds, and Washington's performance goes from languorous and dazed to razor-sharp and darkly humorous—reminiscent of the work he's done for Lee in the past. The ransom-exchange sequence that comes in the middle of the film, set on a train car crowded with Yankees fans while a Puerto Rican music festival takes place underneath the subway, is the kind of bravura New York City electricity only Lee knows how to capture. The latter half of Highest 2 Lowest maintains that energy, plunging King into the Bronx projects as he endeavors to come face-to-face with the kidnapper, played with charismatic menace by A$AP Rocky. Here, Lee gets at the crux of his self-satire, as well as the grousing anti-capitalism of Kurosawa's original movie, in which the protagonist has also let business cloud his moral judgment. The kidnapper isn't the hero of the story, but he's angry for the right reasons, someone ignored by society who's furiously demanding the sympathy of others in the only way he knows how. For all its initial sloppiness, there's enough Spike Lee magic in Highest 2 Lowest to justify a trip to the cinema, especially because it will likely be in theaters for only a few weeks; the film debuts on Apple TV+'s streaming service in September. It's a movie that gleefully kicks its characters out of their comfy environs to plunge them into New York's rattling, noisy crowds—and it's worth watching with the biggest audience you can find.
