Lee has a new joint in the works called, “Brooklyn Hearts MJ” and it’s all about the “gentrification of Brooklyn.”
According to the Playlist, the script goes something like this: “In the summer of 2009, in the heart of Fort Green, Brooklyn, 40-year-old Brooklyn Godlove is moved and deeply affected by the death of Michael Jackson. So moved, the professional DJ (who once preferred Prince), attempts to put on a communal neighborhood block party in tribute to the late singer with the help of his school teacher wife. But his memorial is met with serious resistance by the (white) president of the local resident’s association. Meanwhile, Brooklyn’s drug-dealing half-brother Tariq’s presence is felt deeper in the neighborhood when a series of drug-related shootings occur involving children — and even the head of the community association which makes Brooklyn a suspect. Eventually, as neighborhood events keep getting uglier, a showdown between the two brothers — who have affected the entire community — seems inevitable.”
