John David Washington, star of Ballers and son of top Hollywood numinous negro Denzel Washington, is set to appear as a police detective who infiltrates the Ku Klux Klan in the upcoming Spike Lee joint Black Klansman. “Lee will direct and produce the movie with Peele also producing via his banner Monkeypaw Productions, along with Sean McKittrick, Shaun Redick and Raymond Mansfield of QC Entertainment and Jason Blum of Blumhouse Productions,” The Hollywood Reporter reveals of this kosher funkfest. Literary soul brothers Charlie Wachtel and David Rabinowitz, meanwhile, are on board the production to scribble the script. THR enthuses that “the project sounds like it may be ripped from today’s headlines” – you know, what with all the cross-burnings and lynchings of perfectly innocent African-American angels transpiring across the nation – and represents a “socially conscious project that couldn’t be more timely, given the recent racial unrest in America.” Shhheeeeeiiiit.
