Amazon Studios will release Spike Lee’s “Chi-raq” in time for the holidays (or at least year-end awards). Theatrical distributor Roadside Attractions has released four images as a first taste of the Chicago-set film, which may or may not be a drama, a comedy, or an adaptation of “Lysistrata,” and which may or may not become controversial on our streets. Three more photos below, plus a first trailer.
Ray Pride is Newcity’s Senior Editor and Film Critic. He is a contributing editor of Filmmaker magazine.
Ray’s history of Chicago Ghost Signs is planned for publication next year. Previews of the project are on Twitter and on Instagram. More photography on Instagram.
