Get Ready For A ‘Red Hook Summer’ As Trailer For Spike Lee’s Latest Arrives

After premiering at Sundance earlier this year Spike Lee’s (DO THE RIGHT THING, INSIDE MAN) newest ‘joint’ RED HOOK SUMMER has got itself a trailer and we’ve got it for you, but not just that we’re giving you the official synopsis as well so check them out below:

Red Hook Summer is the latest in Spike Lee’s Chronicles of Brooklyn (which also include SHE’S GOTTA HAVE IT, DO THE RIGHT THING, CROOKLYN, CLOCKERS, and HE GOT GAME), RED HOOK SUMMER tells the story of Flik Royale, a sullen young boy from middle-class Atlanta who has come to spend the summer with his deeply religious grandfather, Bishop Enoch Rouse, in the housing projects of Red Hook. Having never met before, things quickly get off on the wrong foot as Bishop Enoch relentlessly attempts to convert Flik into a follower of Jesus Christ. Between his grandfather’s constant preaching and the culture shock of inner-city life, Flik’s summer appears to be a total disaster–until he meets Chazz Morningstar, a pretty girl his age, who shows Flik the brighter side of Brooklyn. Through her love and the love of his grandfather, Flik begins to realize that the world is a lot bigger, and perhaps a lot better, than he’d ever imagined.

Starring Clarke Peters, Nate Parker, Jules Brown and Thomas Jefferson Byrd the film has no release set for the UK so this could be one to catch on DVD (or not) but we’ll be sure to keep you updated.
