För 30 år sedan fick regissören Spike Lee sitt genombrott med
dramakomedin “She’s Gotta Have It” vilket skulle innebära starten på
en lång och framgångsrik karriär inom filmbranschen. I torsdags
fastställde Entertainment Weekly att Netflix gjort klart med 10
avsnitt i en ny TV-serie baserad på filmen regisserad av Lee själv.

I “She’s Gotta Have It” får vi följa den självständiga artisten Nola
Darling från Brooklyn och hennes tre älskare som hon dejtar
parallellt. Spike Lee själv verkar lyrisk och förklarar sin glädje över projektet
i ett pressmeddelande:

“SHE’S GOTTA HAVE IT Has A Very Special Place In My Heart. We Shot
This Film In 12 Days (2 Six Day Weeks) Way Back In The Back Back Of
The Hot Summer Of 1985 For A Mere Total of $175,000. Funds That We
Begged, Borrowed and Whatnot To Get That Money. This Is The 1st
Official Spike Lee Feature Film Joint And Everything That We Have Been
Blessed With In This Tough Business Of Film All Have Been Due To SGHI.

Now With The Passing (August 8th) Of The 30th Anniversary, It’s A Gift
That Keeps On Giving. We Are Getting An Opportunity To Revisit These
Memorable Characters Who Will Still Be Relevant And Avant Garde 3
Decades Later. With All That Said It Was My Wife, Tonya Lewis Lee,
Producer In Her Own Right, Who Had The Vision To Take My Film From The
