That;s not what he said. In context, he said that the reason they were put on hold was funding and that unless you are one

Posted by: PVL Admin (a.k.a Rocket123) on Apr 03, 17:43 in response to Apokalips' post Spike Lee: Still inolved in and developing [INSD2] and...

of the chosen few, no one is immune from issues regarding lack of funding.  The quote you are talking about here, "Funding issues, said Lee, were at the root of many of these back-burnered projects. Only films developed by Stephen Spielberg, Martin Scorsese, or Tyler Perry, Lee said, were immune from such concerns." doesn't suggest anything is still in active development or that they have moved forward in any way in the last year.

Bottom line:  there has been no news in a year on any of these projects.  Nothing has changed.

Spike Lee: Still inolved in and developing [INSD2] and [WARTC], just facing funding issues cause he isn't Tyler Perry Apokalips Apr 03, 17:15

Gotta put on a dress, Spike! {nm} secretstalker Apr 03, 17:21

the article says that both projects are "back burner" {nm} RazorHawk Apr 03, 17:26

Aren't they all for SLEE at this point though? What's on the front? That was what he was saying by mentioning Spielberg and Perry... Apokalips Apr 03, 17:30

I'm a fan of his work, but there is a real simple concept in Hollywood....your films need to make money if you want to continue making them {nm} lobogotti Apr 03, 17:49

and with that said INSD2 is a no brainer imo. that film made 185M total box office and 40M on DVD {nm} lobogotti Apr 03, 17:52

I'm sure it is, but the point here is that there is no NEW news on this project and this post does not change the movie's status. PVL Admin Apr 03, 17:59

yeah, I'm not endorsing or crucifying Apokalips. just saying my bit on Spike Lee....that dude has fell off the map these past few. {nm} lobogotti Apr 03, 18:02

and Spike, I know you're a little jealous Perry gets all the attention, but he gives his crowd what they want.....crappy films {nm} lobogotti Apr 03, 18:04

Lee is not attached to "Inside Man 2" at time of posting. Apokalips Apr 03, 18:06

I'm posting recent news on projects that haven't been tagged....what's the problem? Apokalips Apr 03, 18:19

There is nothing in that article that suggests he is actively doing anything with the projects. Your tagline is deliberately leading. {nm} PVL Admin Apr 03, 19:42

Look, if you're an admin of this site, I really don't wish to disrespect you but I must state that, IMO Apokalips Apr 03, 20:04

So as not to cloudy the water, I am not an admin to HSX in any way. Speak freely, I am just a player, like you. {nm} PVL Admin Apr 03, 20:07

Tell me what I'm doing that's against rules and regulations, kemosabe, and I'll stop. I'm an active and respectful member of HSX. Apokalips Apr 03, 20:15

Post current news or something new that's different from before. There's no change in status from being stuck in Development hell. {nm} Antibody Apr 03, 21:27
