Should they do a sequel to SCHOOL DAZE or should this classic be left alone?
I'm on the fence with this one, though it would be great to see if they would bring back the cast, to show what became of them over the years being that it would be a sequel and not a remake. Also give the opportunity to show case NEW black actors.
School Daze is a 1988 American musical-drama film, written, produced and directed by Spike Lee, and starring Laurence Fishburne, Giancarlo Esposito, and Tisha Campbell-Martin.
Spike Lee was quoted in saying
“I had the script for ‘School Daze,’” said Lee. “But, what people have to understand is that it’s a contemporary version. So it’s the same school, Mission College, 25 years later,” explains Lee. “Hopefully I can get Laurence Fishburne to play Dap. He’ll be the president now of the school. And we would deal with issues around Historically Black Colleges today. The movie will delve into many of the same issues that students faced in the late ‘80s, while taking on new subjects such as the pledging process and homophobia at historically black colleges".
It would be interesting to see how the new generation go about things, But then again IT'S A CLASSIC AFRICAN AMERICAN film and sometimes we should just leave classics as such.
