How Spike Lee Got An Unreleased Prince Song Into BlackKklansman

While the film world is currently dominated by thrilling franchises and shared universes, there are certain filmmakers who are essentially living royalty. One of them is director/writer/producer Spike Lee, who has made hyper stylized dramas that often explore the black experience in America. While he's been busy with his Netflix series She's Gotta Have It, a new Spike Lee joint will soon hit theaters with BlackKklansman. Based on a crazy real life story, BlackKklansman follows an African American detective in the 1970's who infiltrates a violent Ku Klux Klan chapter. Like all Spike Lee joints, the soundtrack is a character within itself, and the credits have a particularly exciting track: an unreleased Prince cover. I recently spoke with Lee about the film's soundtrack, where he revealed how that previously hidden song made its way to BlackKklansman.

This is something I've not really said, so you'll be the first to hear it. Me and my brother Prince were close. And while we were in post-production, my good friend Troy Carter at Spotify said, because he's worked with Prince's estate, they had found a cassette in the vault. And he said 'I think I have a song for the end credits' And it was that song. The end credits 'Mary Don't You Weep', which is a Prince rendition of an old negro spiritual. And me and Troy talked and said 'I believe Prince wanted you to have that song.' Because he had 10,000 cassettes in the vault in Minnesota at this place. And for them to discover the cassette with that song on it, that is not a coincidence. And that song just so much captures the movie.

This is some serious movie magic. While music and style icon Prince tragically passed away in 2016, there are still tons of unused songs and footage of the legend at work. And since Spike Lee had a colleague who could connect him with the Prince estate, Spike Lee was able to bring a new Prince song to BlackKklansman, no doubt providing a cathartic bookend to the politically charged project.

Spike Lee joints always have iconic soundtracks, with the director often hand picking the songs used in his film and TV ventures. BlackKklansman actually has much fewer songs than Lee's fans are accustomed to. But each song is used purposefully, and Lee's restraint makes the choices feel more deliberate and focused. And adding an unheard Prince track at the last minute is just the icing on the cake of another visionary project by Lee.

You can see my conversation with Spike Lee below.

Ultimately, the use of Prince's unused "Mary Don't You Weep" is the final coda to an emotional, funny, and political movie. And while there's no big post-credits scene a la the MCU, hopefully Prince's track will entice moviegoers to sit through the entirety of the credits.

Spike Lee's BlackKklansman will arrive in theaters on August 10, 2018. In the meantime, check out our 2018 release list to plan your next trip to the movies.

Looks Like The Meg 2 Is Actually Happening

Looks Like The Meg 2 Is Actually Happening

The Meg made a lot of money in its theatrical run earlier this year, pulling in more than $527 million dollars at the worldwide box office. Considering its budget was only $130 million, signing on for The Meg 2 may seem like a no brainer. However, it only now looks as if Warner Bros. is getting the sequel off of the ground.

Currently, The Meg 2 is in the works over at Warner Bros. Executive producer Catherine Xujun Ying announced there is a plan to make a second movie in the works at the studio, although she revealed at the U.S.-China Entertainment Summit (via Deadline) that the project is pretty secret for now.

It's still in the very early stages, but we're working on it. We're trying to keep it secret at this time.

A sequel would make sense. The Meg's large box office intake is actually successful in a more important way. It's actually the most successful co-collaboration between U.S. and Chinese studios in totality. The fact that the movie worked for a U.S. audience alongside a broader worldwide audience may have helped propel the flick to such high numbers overall.

Luckily, The Meg creative team has been happy to talk about the possibility of a sequel. Previously, we learned from The Meg's writer Steve Alten that there are myriad other oceanic creatures that a sequel could potentially explore. Jon Turtletaub also told CinemaBlend that he just doesn't want to fall into the trapper of upping up the ante in a stupid way for the sequel. He said:

But where would you go? Hopefully not the route other bad sequels go and just start making things bigger. It's Uber Meg and Mega Megs, and all of that. Oh my god.

The Meg is based on a book series written by Steve Alten. The first Jonas Taylor-based story is mostly about the Megaladon, but subsequent novels follow other creatures. The Terror features the Kronosaurus, a large whale called a Livyatan, a snake called Titanoba, and even a T-rex in a prologue in one of the books. Clearly, Alten is more interested in the sea creatures than the land creatures, and presumably The Meg's movie sequels would be too.

Still, while there are tons of directions The Meg 2 could go in and Warner Bros. is taking its time getting the movie together. So far, the "secret" project doesn't have screenwriters and we don't know if Jon Turtletaub would want to come back to direct. All in all though, it looks like The Meg 2 is definitely happening, even if there are some questions that still need to be answered. Like who, what and when?

For now, there are quite a few blockbusters heading to theaters in the coming months, including flicks from Warner Bros. like Fantastic Beasts: The Crimes of Grindelwald. You can find out more with our full movie schedule. Now, while we wait, maybe we should lobby for that R-rated cut of The Meg we've heard so much about...

The Time Kelsey Grammer Auditioned To Play Han Solo

The Time Kelsey Grammer Auditioned To Play Han Solo

Quick, think about Han Solo and the ideas that the character conjures in your head. Devil-may-care sensibility? Roguish charm? Those are the qualities that Harrison Ford brought to the role when he stepped into the character's boots in Star Wars: A New Hope, but we almost got a version of Han with an affinity for tossed salad and scrambled eggs. That's because it turns out that Kelsey Grammer actually tried out for the role over four decades ago. In a recent appearance on Conan, the actor opened up about being put in touch with a young George Lucas and said:

I walked up there, and I sat down and there's Lucas sitting there. He explains to me that they're doing this movie about a fairy tale in space. He said, 'There's two guys in it who go and rescue a princess. That's pretty much it,' and he said, 'I think maybe you're a little old for the younger guy and maybe a little too young for the older guy, but you might make a pretty good, sort of like a John Wayne character.' I thought, 'Oh I can do that,' and he said, 'Well I'll think about it,' and then that's the last I heard of it. Cut to two years later, I'm sitting in San Diego, I was working at the Shakespeare festival there, and I sat down for this movie and the big cruiser goes across the sky and it's Star Wars. I suddenly realized, 'Oh my god. This is that movie. That's that weird guy. That guy Lucas.'

Talk about how things could've shaken out differently. In the early days of Star Wars' development, Kelsey Grammer met with George Lucas and was briefly considered for Luke Skywalker and Han Solo. Not quite fitting into what Lucas wanted for either character, age-wise, Grammer tried out for Han and ultimately didn't hear back. In the end, he wound up seeing Star Wars and immediately knew what he was looking at when the movie began.

Check out everything that Kelsey Grammer had to say about the situation during his recent appearance on Conan, below!

Of course, it's clear that the Kelsey Grammer version of Han Solo would've been wildly different from Harrison Ford's for a variety of reasons. For starters, Grammer tends to bring a more refined persona to many of his most beloved characters, which makes it easy to believe that his Han might not have been as much of a cowboy. Moreover, as Grammer explained, he was only 20 years old at the time, so his Han would've been much younger than Ford's, as Ford was 34 years old when the Star Wars franchise began.

Despite how iconic Harrison Ford's portrayal of Han Solo has become, it is worth remembering that Kelsey Grammer is not the only now-famous actor who went out for the role. In addition to the future Frasier star, actors like Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 2's Kurt Russell and Seven Psychopaths' Christopher Walken similarly went out for it. In the end, however, there was only one true Han Solo, and that was Harrison Ford.

Now, Alden Ehrenreich has taken on the mantle, and you can catch the new Han Solo actor in Solo: A Star Wars Story, which is currently in theaters.
