Earlier today, wrote that there were some people who wasn’t happy about what was in the trailer for Spike Lee’s upcoming movie “Chiraq” which as he explained in a video released to today that the movie is not a comedy, it is a satire and he is very sympathetic to the senseless murders that have taken place is Chicago.

Chicago rapper Rhymefest was among those critical of the trailer. “I think it’s irresponsible,” Rhymefest told the Tribune by phone Thursday. “The overwhelming majority of people on the South and West Side believe this is foolishness.”

The video posted by Lee on Friday also contains several new scenes from “Chi-Raq.” The never-before-seen clips depict lead characters expressing concern about the safety of children in Chicago. John Cusack, who grew up outside of Chicago, plays a preacher in the film. His character is heard in the new clip saying, “We will not allow this self-inflicted genocide to continue.”
If you are a fan of Spike Lee’s movies, you will undoubtedly understand that there is a method to what he does and once again he has achieved something great without even debuting the movie and that is that people are already talking about it…good or bad, it is sure to be a box office hit.
