| Antoine Fuqua, the director of Training Day and Shooter, has signed on for another crime thriller, called Miss: Better Living Through Crime. The film, based on a French graphic novel, will be produced by Spike Lee. Written by Philippe Thirault, Marc Riou and Mark Vigoroux, Miss: Better Living Through Crime tells the tale of Nola and Slim, a white hooker and black pimp who team up together and embark on a life of crime and murder in New York at the turn of the 20th Century. Sounds very intriguing, and the period setting means this could be right up Fuqua’s street. We'd love to see Lee's take on this material, of course, but it will also be mighty interesting to see how this collaboration between the two pans out. Is this the beginning of a beautiful friendship? John Ridley, who wrote the script for the upcoming George Lucas-produced WWII flick, Red Tails, will adapt the graphic novel for Fuqua. No cast or studio is yet on board.
