Spike Lee spoke out in late April against movie theaters re-opening amid the coronavirus pandemic, and now the Oscar winner tells Vanity Fair he most likely will not be going to movie theaters until there is a vaccine for the virus being distributed. Lee is releasing his new film, the Vietnam War drama Da 5 Bloods, straight to Netflix on June 12. The director was supposed to begin production this summer on an adaptation of the graphic novel Prince of Cats for Legendary Pictures, but Lee told Vanity Fair he doesnt see filming on any Hollywood production happening anytime soon.
They aint doing a thing until the vaccine, Lee said. I know Im not going to a movie theater. I know Im not going to a Broadway show. I know Im not going to Yankee Stadium. Corona is a bitch. Corona is not playing. You [expletive] around youre going to get killed, youre going to die. Im not ready to go.

I was a very early adopter of the ‘avoid movie theaters showing Spike Lee movies’. In anticipation of this Wuhanic plague I started that strategy around 1990, give or take.
Doesnt he make movies for a living? Shouldnt he be trying to encourage people to go to the movies instead of staying away?
We’re somewhat in agreement.
He will not go because he thinks the air sucks.
I will not go because I think the movies suck.
My boyfriend and I got locked inside a drive-in in the early 70s. Try explaining how that happened to your mom.
Guess he’d rather virtue signal than earn money.
Good, can we get that in writing
Time to bring back Drive In Movies...
>>>Guess hed rather virtue signal than earn money<<<
He already has money in the Bank. Not a problem for him.
Who gives a sh!t.
She probably thought “Does she really expect me to believe that??” Things happen. It was probably almost a fun adventure.

He should go buy little Jeffery Island and dig a hole in the sand.
(ruined since the 'Karens' got the coconut oil banned from theaters)
Good, now maybe I can enjoy movies in peace.
“Spike Lee says Hollywood should never make another movie until there is a vaccine. There will never be a vaccine. So does this mean Hollywood will never make another movie?”
Great news.
Is he still going to strip clubs?
“The virus has already morphed into over 30 different mutations. Thus, if one gets a vaccine for one form, guess what? There remains a ton of mutations yet to be identified and worked with.”
You like making stuff up and saying in the Internet.
