Lee’s last film, BlacKkKlansman (2018), earned him an Oscar for Best Adapted Screenplay. In a four-star review NME praised the “riotous comedy” for its sharp depiction of “despicable racism”.

A source close Netflix confirmed to IndieWire that a theatrical release was planned for the movie before the coronavirus crisis hit and therefore the film is eligible for the 2021 Academy Awards.

Meanwhile, Lee recently spoke out against the decision to reopen cinemas in Georgia, US despite the ongoing global spread of the coronavirus.

Georgia Governor Brian Kemp sparked controversy after he announced he would relax quarantine restrictions and reop select non-essential businesses, such as cinemas, beginning April 27.

The BlackKklansman director made it clear that he doesn’t support the decision in a statement shared with Vanity Fair. Open Movie Theatres Now? Hell To Da Naw,” Lee wrote.
