    The biopic, which starred Denzel Washington because the civil rights chief, was notoriously a grueling shoot to finance as Warner Bros. infamously shut down manufacturing because of finances issues. “That film nearly killed me when Warner Bros. let the bond firm take over the movie in postproduction and shut it down,” Lee stated. “That’s most likely essentially the most I’ve been depressed in my life apart from my mom dying. Half my wage went into the film. I used to be broke.”

    Nonetheless, regardless of the movie’s later success, Lee isn’t positive if WBD or any studio would even finance the movie right now. “I don’t wish to get into what-ifs, however a variety of these folks [who own movie studios] have been on the [Trump] inauguration,” he stated. “I’m not naming names, however it isn’t an exaggeration to say that [‘Malcolm X’] can’t be made right now with the place we’re on this world.”

    As for his ideas on President Trump in whole, Lee pointed to a fellow Hollywood icon’s statements.

    “Have you ever seen what [Robert] De Niro stated about him? I’m a toddler of the ’70s, and I believe the historical past of this nation is artists. The Vietnam Battle, the songs, the flicks. Black, white, brown folks stood up in opposition to a battle that was unsuitable. Jackson State. Kent State. The Democratic Conference, Chicago and people cops going loopy cracking heads. They usually have been saying, ‘The entire world is watching.’ However it’s a shock. We haven’t seen this precisely. I imply earlier than, I imply not even Nixon did the stuff this man is doing,” Lee stated. “I’m a trainer, an NYU tenured professor; I’ve obtained a variety of college students. Earlier than spring break, the [school] administration despatched an electronic mail, ‘Don’t go away for spring break.’ It’s scary. I imply, in case you are an worldwide pupil, clear file, and also you see what’s taking place on the planet. That is the 12 months of dwelling dangerously.”
