Lee and Universal put together a sequel to bank-busting box office hit

Even when you love a film, sometimes you know as a movie fan, they couldn’t squeeze a sequel out of it for love nor money. Well, certainly not for love.

Inside Man was the biggest box office hit of Spike Lee’s career, hoovering up $184 million worldwide and that’s the kind of cash Universal and Imagine Entertainment can’t just stroll away from.

Denzel Washington’s slick cop, Clive Owen’s edgy thief and Jodie Foster’s dangerously sexy troubleshooter… if anyone can bring this crowd back together and make something sweet, our money’s on Spike.
