Spike Lee and eOne are prepping a lowborn distended tuner on the breakthrough of Pfizer‘s magic drug: Viagra.
Due to Pfizer getting headlines recently for its possible breakthrough coronavirus vaccine, Lee is set to direct the screenplay about the “blue pill” he’s penned with Kwame Kwei-Armah. The musical is based on “All Rise: The Untold Story of The Guys Who Launched Viagra,” a David Kushner Esquire piece. It is influenced by the actual events surrounding Pfizer’s uncovering and launch of the erectile dysfunction cure Sildenafil.
The ‘little blue pill’ was incubated as a therapy for chest pain heart-related only for scientists to unearth its game-changing traits that transpired below the belt. In the global marketplace, Viagra had instant staying power, turning up sex lives around the planet. 40 Acres and a Mule Filmworks, Spike Lee’s brand, will produce with Matt Jackson’s Jackson Pictures. The project will be the next feature for Spike Lee, who has been on a strong role with HBO Max’s American Utopia and Netflix’s Vietnam saga Da 5 Bloods.
Lee spoke on the prospect of his first musical: “First And Foremost, I Thank Ms. Jacquelyn Shelton Lee. I Thank My Late Mother For As She Would Say Taking “My Narrow, Rusty Behind” Dragging, Kickin’ And Screamin’ To The Movies When I Wuz A Nappy Headed Kid Growing Up In Da Streets Of Da People’s Republic Of Brooklyn.
