Spike Lee, who won the Oscar for Best Adapted Screenplay for "The Black Party" at the beginning of 1905, revealed a new film plan to direct the "hip-hop version of Romeo and Juliet" film "Cat Prince". The film is based on the comic strip of the same name by Ron Wembley, inspired by Shakespeare's classic Romeo and Juliet, but set in the United States in the 1980s.
The Cat Prince features Juliet's cousin, Tibert, nicknamed "The Cat Prince", who lives in Brooklyn, New York, with the other brothers of the Capelight family, and often engages in underground swordplay duels with the Montageu family, his "nemesis". At the same time, the film will also be filled with various hip-hop style elements such as DJ, MC, breakdancing and graffiti.
