"This is a great American story." Spike Lee has shared the script for an unmade Jackie Robinson biopic that would have starred Denzel Washington as the trailblazing baseball player.
The director dropped the 1996 screenplay for fans online amid self-isolation over the coronavirus pandemic, explaining he had a lot of time to think over previous projects while at home.
Appearing in an Instagram video, Lee said: “Hello everyone, hope you are safe at home. We’ve all had a lot of time to think about stuff, life, what happened, what didn’t happen.
And I began to think about one of my dream projects. I Dug Deep Into Da 40 Acres Vault And Pulled Out This Script From One Of My EPIC Dream (Never Got Made) Projects-JACKIE ROBINSON.
