Spike Lee really, really wants you to know there were black soldiers fighting in World War II. He started with Miracle at St. Anna, a film about the heroics of a real-life regiment of black soldiers fighting in Italy. Now he's going with a darker and possibly more villainous character, planning a film about an American private shot shot another soldier, then went native in the Southeast Asian jungle.
The film will be based on Brendan Koerner's Now The Hell Will Start, which told the true story of Private Herman Perry. He eventually assimilated into the tribal culture of the Indo-Burmese jungle, though it's unclear in the THR whether that point is where the hell started. Either way, it's a story that seems tailor-made for Lee, and his ability to raise some hell of his own.
