Sony's Security Breach Reveals Drake and Kevin Hart as Possible Leads in Spike Lee's New Film 'School Daze Too'
While Sony's recent security breach has uncovered information some folks would have liked to keep private, fans will be pleased to know that in the midst Drake and Kevin Hart were revealed as possible leads for Spike Lee's new film "School Daze Too."According to "HipHopDX," an email from Lee's agent to the head of Sony Pictures Entertainment about a possible follow-up to the director's 1988 movie "School Daze" was discovered during the leak. In the email, Lee's agent, Doug Belgrad, offers up a pitch for the film with the hopes of casting Drake and Hart as the lead roles."This is a new draft that Spike has written after meetings with Drake, who will play the lead role of PE*NIS, and Kevin Hart who will play DAT N---A JIGGA," Belgrad wrote. "The budget is $ 9 million (net, after Georgia tax credits), not including historic costs, star salaries, creative producer fees. 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. Why go to college to get a job to make money when you can make more money rapping, stripping, and creating salacious music videos even if they demean women??"Talks of a sequel for the film, which originally starred Laurence Fishburne, Giancarlo Esposito and Tisha Campbell-Martin, came about last year after Lee revealed he had completed a script for "School Daze Too." -
