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."
