Spike Lee is returning the character of “Mookie” from the movie Do The Right Thing for a forthcoming film entitled Red Hook Summer, which premieres at the Sundance Film Festival on Jan. 22.
The movie stars Jules Brown, Toni Lysaith, Nate Parker, James Ransone, Keke Palmer and Thomas Jefferson Byrd, and features the diverse group of characters sweating it out during a summer in Brooklyn.
Red Hook Summer is about a young man named Flik, who is sent to spend the summer with his grandfather in Brooklyn at a housing project called Red Hook.
The film is produced by Lee and James McBride, who collaborated together on the script.
Mookie was first introduced to audience in Lee’s iconic movie Do The Right Thing. This will be definitely a must watch.
Red Hook Summer is a 2012 American film co-written and directed by Spike Lee. It is Lee’s sixth film in his “Chronicles of Brooklyn” series following She’s Gotta Have It, Do the Right Thing, Crooklyn, Clockers, and He Got Game.
Flik Royale is a pampered 13-year-old boy from Atlanta who is sent to live with his preacher grandfather, Da Good Bishop Enoch Rouse, in Red Hook, Brooklyn.
Flik struggles to connect with his religious grandfather, and clashes with him over religion, technology, and other subjects.
He develops a friendship with a girl named Chazz and encounters Box, a gangster who used to attend Enoch’s church. In the midst of a sermon, a strange man strolls into the back of the church and accuses Bishop Enoch of sexual molestation 15 years earlier in Georgia.
Enoch then admits that it was subsequently covered up by his church, which paid the boy’s family hush money and let Enoch go free to start a new life in Brooklyn.
The news causes members of his new congregation to turn against him and for Box and his men to beat him. Flik is sent home to his mother, and says goodbye to Chazz.
