Spike Lee’s ‘Righteous’ Film

SPIKE Lee has partnered with Internet marketing guru Jay Kubassek on a movie about a bank robber who redeems himself. Kubassek — the man behind the “Chelsea on the Rocks” documentary about the Chelsea Hotel — and Lee are co-producing “Evolution of a Criminal,” a film by Darius Clark Monroe about his life, which hit bottom when he robbed a Bank of America branch at age 17 and did three years in a Texas prison. Monroe made the jump into movies by enrolling in Lee’s class at NYU.
