Article Excerpt:

Antoine Fuqua will be teaming up with Spike Lee for an adaptation of the graphic novel Miss: Better Living Through Crime. Variety indicates Fuqua will direct and the Knicks' biggest fan will produce, but this still qualifies as a Spike Lee Joint, I believe.

Vigilante Entertainment still has that the new production company smell, and will develop the film with Lee and Fuqua. If you've never heard of Better Living Through Crime, it's a period action piece about seemingly mismatched characters named Nola and Slim. Miss is set in prohibition-era New York, a great time and place for any kind of crime story.

"Nola is a poor white girl who has learned to survive by hook or by crook since being expelled from the orphanage. Slim is a black pimp with an uncertain past, trying to keep one foot out of the grave. Story revolves around a poor white girl and a black pimp who forge a partnership as killers for hire."
