There is speculation circulating that Spike Lee may be making a part two to School Daze, the classic college film for the black community. 2013 was the 25th anniversary of School Daze.

Words from Spike Lee, live in conversation with the Black & Sexy TV:

I had the script for [the sequel] to School Daze… a contemporary version, same school… 25 years later. Hopefully I can get Laurence Fishburne to play Dap… he’ll be the president now of the school. It would deal with issues in HSBCUs today… some of the same stuff from the last film… like the pledging process… but also lots of new stuff… like homophobia… it’s a big subject in it… class issues, color, hair texture… but it’s stuff happening today.

Needless to say, there is much anticipation starting to build.

I don’t know about you, but I’m excited to hear this news. In 1988, when School Daze was released, I wasn’t in high school, so School Daze filled my head with what college life was like.

Today, I have successfully matriculated through the college system on an undergradate and graduate level. Did the fraternity, athlete thing and had many experiences. Would be great to see how Spike Lee depicts the modern college scene, our issues, and how it ends.

Will Dap end it screaming “WAKE UUUUUUUUUUUUUUP” at the end?

Will it be the “new”, younger Dap?

Will Lawrence Fishburne play Dap?

I think the movie would be #1 on the movie charts for a few weeks and grosses tens of millions because everyone who has seen the original will go see the new one. A new generation will come out to support. If they loved Drumline and Stomp The Yard, they will come out to see it, but what do I know. I”m not putting my money where my mouth is to finance the film.

And that’s where Spike is supposedly running into trouble, financing. I read there was a Kickster campaign in place to get the financing, but don’t see one.

(I did find this one for a love story that raised over $1.4 Million: https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/spikelee/the-newest-hottest-spike-lee-joint)

Guess we will find out more later, but what do you think?

Would you got see the movie? Are you excited?
