Spike Lee’s iconic 1986 feature film debut She’s Gotta Have It—a rare coming-of-age tale about a black woman’s sexual exploration in 1980s Brooklyn that was widely raved about and also criticized—has gotten a 10-episode series order on Netflix, with Lee on board as director. Yikes.

Spike Lee is waking people up with the sound of his soothing voice in a new campaign radio ad endorsing Bernie Sanders.

Following the Hollywood diversity conversation could, at this point, be a full-time job. For Paris Barclay, the head of the Directors Guild of America, it already kind of is—and he’s really tired of the lack of action.

Following Jada Pinkett Smith’s criticism of this year’s Oscars for the Academy’s failure to recognize films made by and featuring people of color, Spike Lee announced on Martin Luther King Day that he would not be attending the award show.

The trailer for Michael Jackson’’s Journey from Motown to Off the Wall, Spike Lee’s documentary about the artist’s creative path from The Jackson 5 to Off The Wall, poses an interesting question: was he referencing Star Wars in his 1979 hit “Don’t Stop ‘Til You Get Enough”?

The issue of gun violence in America remains raw and it’s particularly heart-wrenching for Jennifer Hudson, whose mother, brother and nephew were murdered in 2008.

Spike Lee appeared on a recent episode of The Late Show With Stephen Colbert to talk about his new film, Chi-Raq. The movie is a modern re-telling of Lysistrata, an anti-war, ancient Greek comedy in which a woman convinces the other women in her city to withhold sex from their husbands and lovers until a peace treaty…

Okay, so when I first heard that Spike Lee was making a movie called Chi-Raq, I was a bit suspicious, given that his prolificacy makes him kind of hit-or-miss. Chiraq is a nickname for the parts of Chicago in which gun and gang violence are so rampant that they resemble a war zone. There are a whole, whole lot of…

On Sunday, after a flurry of secret emails, I entered a party I'd been awaiting since 2000—D'Angelo had released his third album, Black Messiah. Spike Lee, Penn Badgley, writer-director Nelson George and ?uestlove milled around New York City's Dream Hotel rooftop bar filled with hipsters, DJs and journalists,…

Little League phenom Mo'ne Davis has a book on the way entitled Mo'ne Davis: Remember My Name. Hitting shelves just in time for 2015's baseball season, the 13-year-old athlete is also starring in a car commercial directed by Spike Lee, who named his own daughter after the famous black baseball player, Satchel Paige.
