Spike Lee’s new film BlacKkKlansman has just premiered at Cannes Film Festival, and is making waves. The buzz around the movie is pretty great. As a fan of Spike Lee’s work that’s promising and very exciting.
The movie was produced by Jason Blum who’s production company Blumhouse Productions gave us fellow producer Jordan Peele’s Get Out.
Here’s the first official trailer:

From visionary director Spike Lee comes the provocative story based on Ron Stallworth’s real life as Colorado Springs’s first African-American police officer who went undercover to infiltrate the Ku Klux Klan. Unbelievably, Detective Stallworth (John David Washington) and his partner Flip Zimmerman (Adam Driver) penetrate the KKK at its highest levels to thwart its attempt to take over the city. Produced by the team behind the Academy-Award® winning Get Out, Spike Lee uses his trademark take-no-prisoner style and humor to tell this story often missing from the history books.
BlacKkKlansman stars Adam Driver, John David Washington (Denzel Washington’s son), Laura Harrier, and Topher Grace.
