Spike Lee Preps Michael Jackson's 'Bad' Documentary

De Palma, Malick and Bellocchio Headline Slimmer Venice Competition Lineup

Venice Film Festival to Screen 10 Rare Films From Archive in Special Retrospective
Lee was already going to be in Venice in conjunction with Bad 25, his Michael Jackson documentary that will explore the making and impacts of Jackson’s album “Bad,” which was released 25 years ago. The film will screen in the official selection but out of competition.
The Glory to the Filmmaker award, which is presented to a personality that brought “great innovation to contemporary cinema,” is not connected to the world premiere of Bad 25, but rather for Lee’s career.
“Spike Lee is a bold and creative spirit, the author of daring and corrosive films, often unpredictable and provocative in the best sense of the word,” Venice artistic director Alberto Barbera said in a statement. “He creates films that challenge us to rethink our prejudices and our preconceptions.”
The award will be presented to Lee on August 31, ahead of the screening of Bad 25. The 69-year-old festival runs August 29-Sept. 8.
Lee is a regular on the Venice Lido, with eight previous films screening during the festival. He appeared in Venice’s main competition twice, with Mo’Better Blues in 1990 and Clockers five years later. In 2004, Lee’s film She Hate Me and in 2005, Jesus Children of America, and episode from the film The Invisible Children, both screened out of competition. Additionally. His 1997 documentary 4 Little Girls, the film He Got Game from 1998, and his 2006 New Orleans documentary When the Levees Broke: a Requiem in Four Acts all appeared in Venice sidebars. Additionally, Lee was a member of Venice’s International Jury in 2004.
Previously, the Glory to the Filmmaker award has been presented to Al Pacino last year, Mani Ratnam in 2010, Sylvester Stallone in 2009, Agnes Varda in 2008, and Abbas Kiaristami in 2008.

Ich hoffe, die Doku kommt auch in die deutschen Kinos. Wäre ein tolles Erlebnis, ihn wieder auf der Leinwand zu sehen.

The Biennale di Veneziaand Jaeger-LeCoultre announce that the great American director, screenwriter, actor and producer Spike Lee has been awarded the Jaeger-LeCoultre Glory to the Filmmaker 2012 award of the Venice International Film Festival, dedicated a personality who has brought great innovation to contemporary cinema.

The Director of the Venice Film Festival, Alberto Barbera, in regards to this acknowledgment to Spike Lee, stated: “Spike Lee is a bold creative spirit, the author of daring and corrosive films, often unpredictable and provocative in the best sense of the term. Films that challenge us to rethink our prejudices and our preconceptions.”

The prize will be conferred to Spike Lee at the awards ceremony which will take place on Friday, August 31st during the 69th Venice Film Festival (29 August – 8 September 2012), directed by Alberto Barbera and organized by the Biennale di Venezia chaired by Paolo Baratta.

Following the awards ceremony, the 69th Venice Film Festival will present the world premiere screening of the new documentary by Spike Lee, Bad 25, filmed on the occasion of the 25th anniversary of Michael Jackson’s historic album, Bad. Spike Lee made two videos for Michael Jackson, They Don’t Care About Us (1997) and This Is It (2009).

Spike Lee has participated in eight previous editions of the Venice International Film Festival. In Competition twice, in 1990 with Mo’Better Blues and in 1995 with Clockers, and Out of Competition twice, in 2004 with She Hate Me and in 2005 with the episode Jesus Children of America from the film The Invisible Children. In 1997 with the documentary 4 Little Girls in the ‘Officina veneziana’ section; in 1998 with He Got Game in the ‘Notti e stelle’ section; in 2001 with the documentary A Huey P. Newton Story in the ‘Nuovi territori’ section; in 2006 with the documentary When the Levees Broke: A Requiem in Four Acts, which won the Orizzonti Doc award. In 2004 he was a member of the International Jury for the Competition.

Jaeger-LeCoultre is a sponsor for the eighth year in a row of the Venice International Film Festival, and for the sixth year in a row of the Glory to the Filmmaker award.
The prize has been awarded in previous years to Takeshi Kitano (2007), Abbas Kiarostami (2008), Agnès Varda (2008), Sylvester Stallone (2009), Mani Ratnam (2010), and Al Pacino (2012).

Spike Lee is considered the most famous of Afro-American directors and one of the most significant personalities in American filmmaking over the past 30 years. His films deal with political and social issues such as racism and interracial relationships. His production company is called “40 Acres and a Mule Filmworks”. The name is a reference to the 40 acres and a mule promised as compensation to African slaves after the Abolition of slavery. That promise was never kept. The son of a jazz musician, he studied at the New York University Film School with Martin Scorsese, graduating with a medium-length film (Joe’s Bed–Stuy Barbershop: We Cut Heads, 1983) that won the Student Academy Award and a prize at the Locarno Festival. In 1986 his first feature-length film, Lola Darling, a comedy about an independent Afro-American young woman who divided her time between two lovers, was a resounding success (it won the Prix de la Jeunesse at Cannes and the Independent Spirit Award for best debut film). The film was shot in twelve days. He later described the ghetto in Do the Right Thing (1989, Oscar nomination for Best Screenplay); told the life story of musician Charles Mingus (Denzel Washington’s first major portrayal) in Mo’ Better Blues (1990, in Competition at the Venice International Film Festival) and brought an icon of Afro-American culture to the screen in Malcolm X (1992), for which Denzel Washington won the Best Actor award in Berlin and was nominated for an Oscar. He then addressed the issue of interracial love in Jungle Fever (1991), which won a Special Jury Prizeat Cannes and Best Supporting Actor award for the performance of Samuel L. Jackson. He later filmed Crooklyn (1994), Clockers (1995, presented in Competition at the Venice Film Festival), Girl 6 (1996), Get on the Bus (1996, Special Mention in Berlin), the documentary 4 Little Girls (1997, presented at the Venice Film Festival in the Officina veneziana section and nominated for an Oscar), He Got Game (1998, presented at the Venice Film Festival in the Notte e stelle section). In his acclaimed film SOS Summer of Sam (1999), for the first time he dealt exclusively with an ethnic community that was not Afro-American but Italian-American, against the background of the story of serial killer Son of Sam during the summer of 1977 in New York. Alternating feature-length films with TV series and documentaries (including A Huey P. Newton Story, presented in 2001 at the Venice Film Festival in the Nuovi territori section, and When the Levees Broke: A Requiem in Four Acts, winner of the Orizzonti Doc award in 2006 at the Venice Film Festival), he directed: Bamboozled (2000, in Competition in Berlin); the acclaimed 25th Hour (2002), also in Competition in Berlin, where it was particularly applauded, and hailed by critics as one of the best, if not the best, film made by the director; She Hate Me (2004, Out of Competition at the Venice Film Festival); Inside Man (2006), his first genre film, a “Shakespearean” thriller with a plot full of twists based on the “perfect robbery”: it featured an exceptional cast (Denzel Washington, Clive Owen, Jodie Foster, Christopher Plummer andWillem Dafoe), and turned out to be his greatest box-office hit; Miracle at St. Anna (2008, presented in Toronto), on the little-known episode highlighting the contribution of Afro-American soldiers to World War II; and the recent Red Hook Summer (2012), presented at the Sundance Film Festival.

10.08.12: Spike Lee spricht mit Ebony

"Es ist der 31. August, der 25. Jahrestag von Bad", sagt Spike Lee in einem neuen Interview mit Ebony. "Ich kann nicht über das Material im Film sprechen, aber hier ist das Tolle. Seit es in Verbindung mit Sony Records und der Michael Jackson Nachlassverwaltung läuft, habe ich vollen Zugriff auf die Michael Jackson Archive. Wir haben Material darin, das die Leute niemals zuvor sahen. Niemals. Niemals! Und die Weltpremiere ist am Venice Film Festival am 31. August."

Angesprochen auf seine Zusammenarbeiten mit Michael Jackson und Prince, wie er diese vergleichen würde, erwiedert Spike Lee: "Beide sind ruhig. Aber das Video für Prince, er war nicht in 'Money Don’t Matter Tonight'. Wir sprachen ein paar Mal am Telefon [für den Girl 6 Soundtrack]. Ich hatte viel mehr Kontakt mit Michael als wir die zwei Version von dem Single Song 'They Don’t Really Care About Us' machten: Den einen, den wir in New York drehten und den anderen, den wir in Brasilien drehten.”
In einem früheren Interview berichtete Spike Lee, wie er von Michael persönlich eingeladen wurde, das History Album vor dessen Veröffentlichung zu hören. Michael habe ihm gesagt, er solle sich einen Song auswählen, zu dem er gerne einen Clip drehen würde. Spikee Lee wählte Stranger in Moscow, was Michael dann doch nicht so wollte.

While he's still hoping to get his "Brooklyn Loves MJ" project off the ground, as he told us last week, Spike Lee's been able to scratch his Michael Jackson itch; hot on the heels of the release of "Red Hook Summer," he'll unveil "Bad 25," a new documentary about the creation of the pop star's seminal record, at the Venice Film Festival (where he'll also get a lifetime achievement award) in a few short weeks. And it was announced this week that Lee will also be bringing the film to the Toronto International Film Festival.

Given the high quality of Lee's documentary work so far (you can read our take on these projects in our retrospective of the director's work from last week), we're expecting this to be a cut above the usual music documentary, and some first-look images from the film, which reveal participants like Martin Scorsese and Thelma Schoonmaker, Kanye West, Sheryl Crow, ?uestlove and Mariah Carey, suggests that this should shed some interesting light on the 25th anniversary of "Bad." We'll be bringing you our verdict on the film in a few weeks, but in the meantime, check out the images and an official synopsis below.

Spike Lee pays tribute to Michael Jackson's Bad on the twenty-fifth anniversary of the epochal album, offering behind-the-scenes footage of Jackson recording the album and interviews with confidants, musicians, choreographers, and such music-world superstars as Kanye West, Sheryl Crow, Cee Lo Green and Mariah Carey

Bad 25 features captivating behind-the-scenes footage of the recording sessions for several of Bad’s biggest songs ("The Way You Make Me Feel" being among the most memorable). There are also revealing interviews with a number of fellow artists who worked with Jackson — such as Sheryl Crow, with whom Jackson shared the duet "I Just Can’t Stop Loving You" on stage during the Bad world tour — and those who were inspired by him, including Kanye West, Cee Lo Green and Mariah Carey. Lee offers us a more intimate side of Jackson, one rarely glimpsed amidst the glitter and circus-like atmosphere that surrounded the notoriously private superstar, especially as his personal life (and appearance) became a scandal-rag mainstay in the years that followed Bad. As the landmark album takes shape before our eyes, we see Jackson’s dedication to his craft, his talent for inspired collaboration, and his sly sense of humour — as well as some hints of the toll that his relentless work ethic had on his psyche..

Die Doku ist übrigens 131 Minunten lang Sie wird auch beim internationalen Filmfestival in Toronto laufen (6. bis 16. September).



Spike Lee revisits Jackson's 'Bad' at Toronto fest
By By DAVID GERMAIN | Associated Press – 3 hrs ago

• Associated Press/Toronto International Film Festival - This film image released by the Toronto International Film Festival shows Kanye West in a scene from the Spike Lee documentary "Bad 25."

LOS ANGELES (AP) — Music is highlighting the Toronto International Film Festival with a Michael Jackson documentary from Spike Lee and a closing-night film featuring Vanessa Redgraveas a terminally ill choir singer.
Organizers announced Tuesday that Redgrave's "Song for Marion" will close next month's Toronto festival, which runs Sept. 6 to 16 and is one of the key cinema gatherings that kick off Hollywood's fall movie lineup and Academy Awards season. The film directed byPaul Andrew Williams co-stars Terence Stamp and Gemma Arterton.
Lee's documentary "Bad 25" also is playing the festival, marking the 25th anniversary of Jackson's 1987 album "Bad." The film features footage shot by Jackson himself along with interviews with such stars and music producers as Mariah Carey, Kanye West, Sheryl Crow and L.A. Reid.
Toronto planners announced dozens of other films to round out its 11-day run, among them Peter Webber's "Emperor," starring Tommy Lee Jones as Gen. Douglas MacArthur in the aftermath of Japan's defeat in World War II; Dante Ariola's "Arthur Newman," a romance with Colin Firth andEmily Blunt centered on a former golf hot shot who became a notorious choker on the pro circuit; and Brian De Palma's "Passion," an erotic thriller featuring Rachel McAdams and Noomi Rapace.
Other Toronto highlights include Lee Daniels' "The Paperboy," a murder tale set in 1960s Florida that stars Nicole Kidman, Matthew McConaughey, John Cusack and Zac Efron; Harmony Korine's "Spring Breakers," with James Franco, Selena Gomez and Vanessa Hudgens in a tale of college girls on a wild vacation; Paul Thomas Anderson's "The Master," starring Joaquin Phoenix, Amy Adams and Philip Seymour Hoffman in the story of a World War II Navy veteran drawn into a cult by a charismatic leader; and Scott McGehee and David Siegel's "What Maisie Knew," with Julianne Moore and Steve Coogan in an adaptation of a Henry James tale about a girl caught in a custody battle.
Among previously announced films at Toronto are the opening-night premiere "Looper," a sci-fi thriller starring Joseph Gordon-Levitt, Bruce Willis and Blunt; Keira Knightley's Leo Tolstoy adaptation "Anna Karenina," featuring Jude Law and Aaron Taylor-Johnson; Ben Affleck's Iran hostage rescue saga "Argo," co-starring Bryan Cranston and John Goodman; and Robert Redford's fugitive manhunt tale "The Company You Keep," co-starring Shia LaBeouf, Susan Sarandon and Terrence Howard.
Along with the Venice and Telluride festivals that precede it, Toronto typically is a prime launch spot for many Oscar contenders. Among past Oscar winners that played the Toronto festival were "The King's Speech," ''The Hurt Locker," ''Slumdog Millionaire" and "Crash."

Spike Lee über die Bad-Doku:

Es ist eine Doku über das Bad-Album
Ich habe die Doku in Zusammenarbeit mit Sony und dem Michael Jackson-Estate gemacht und ich hatte Zugang zu Michael`s Tresoren.
Es ist Stoff, den Leute nie zuvor gesehen haben. Videos, die Michael machte, seine Notizen seine Schriften.
Er machte 66 songs für das Bad-Album, aber nur 10,11 schafften es auf das Album. Das ist verrückt.
Premiere beim Filmfestival in Venedig. Derzeit laufen die Verhandlungen mit den Netzwerken, Kabel-TV.
Im Fernsehen um Thanksgiving, und draußen (ich nehme an er meint auf DVD) Weihnachten. Das wird das Hammer-Weihnachtsgeschenk.

[Soundchaser]

[B]Die Doku ist übrigens 131 Minunten lang

Sehr, SEHR geil!!! Hatte ja eigentlich höchstens mit 90 Minuten oder so gerechnet, da das bei Making Of Dokus meistens in etwa die Zeit ist, aber über zwei Stunden ist ja echt mal ne sehr ordentliche Länge für sowas! Da muss ja dann echt viel ungesehenes Archivmaterial zu sehen sein...

[Dreamerdancer]

Ich weiß, es gehört nicht hierher, aber ich weiß nicht wohin damit, der Sender spielt viel Michael und auch Songs von ihm, die sonst nicht im Radio laufen. Sie haben ein Hörer Voting : Michael Jackson eingerichtet, in dem man mehrmals abstimmen kann für seine Lieblingssongs, ich habe schon für verschieden Songs abgestimmt und es wurde immer akzeptiert, aber lest selbst. Auf FB sind sie auch.

'Bad' verkaufte sich letztendlich 30 Millionen Mal, war die fünftmeistverkaufte CD aller Zeiten. Epic Records wird 'Bad 25' am 18. September rausbringen. Darin enthalten sind das Originalalbum, unveröffentlichte Songs, die Doku von Spike Lee, Konzertmitschnitte und Remixes.

Also doch auf der DVD mit drauf?
