Spike Lee and Antoine Fuqua are teaming up to bring the graphic novel 'Miss: Better Living Through Crime' to the big screen.
According to Variety, Fuqua, best known for directing 'Training Day,' will direct the film about a poor white girl and a black pimp who forge a partnership as killers for hire in early 1900s New York. Lee will executive produce the film, which is based on the graphic novel written by French writers Philippe Thirault, Marc Riou and Mark Vigouroux.
No release date has been set for 'Miss,' but Fuqua does have one film due in 2010-- 'Brooklyn's Finest,' a cop drama starring Don Cheadle, Wesley Snipes and Richard Gere. Meanwhile, Lee will release 'Saint John of Las Vegas,' a drama starring Steve Buscemi and Romany Malco.

Just finished reading Dec. 2009 Essence, and am puzzled, loved all the article but failed to see any word, not one about Kwanzaa. This year has been the hardest and uplifting year of my life, I've worked 36 years on the same job,taking a 40% pay cut, and seeing a black president elected, and the magizine I have read for 40 years didn't honor, Unity self-determination, collective work and responsibility,cooperative economics, purpose creativity and faith, by just a mention!! Not one word, did anyone else notice?
