Hi, everyone. "Moriarty" here with some Rumblings From The Lab...
That’s what this scooper claims. Check it out:
Spike Lee was speaking at Kent State, Stark Branch tonight (February 3, 2004). He talked politics and his background and movies and Cold Mountain and so forth, and then the floor opened up for questions. One real interesting bit came out of the Q & A (not sure how much of this is news, but I haven't read about it anywhere).
Spike Lee said that he's working on a movie based on boxer Joe Lewis' skirmish with the Nazis... he said it would be a BIG film featuring FDR and Mussolini. He's writing the screenplay with Budd Schulberg (On the Waterfront). Spike also mentioned that Vin Diesel will play Joe Lewis. Let's all hope that this is the pre-XXX Vin Diesel we're talking about.

Thanks for the note. Obviously, I wasn’t at the Kent State appearance, so I can’t verify what was said, but it’s interesting if true. Anyone else out there hear Spike talking about this tonight?
"Moriarty" out.
