Fans are used to seeing Spike Lee and Timothée Chalamet together on the court at New York Knicks games, but could a movie collaboration be next?
The Oscar-winning filmmaker recently lit into The Bill Simmons Podcast that there's no beef between him and the actor over who is the biggest Hollywood Knicks fan.
"I feel like Chalamet's in your corner a little bit, and I want to make sure you're good, because he's become the Knicks fan," host Bill Simmons stated. "He's kind of in your real estate. Have you done this? What's going on here?"
The Tallest 2 Shortest director confirmed that there is “no rivalry” and “no competition” between them and that he actually hopes to work with Chalamet on a film together in the future.
"Look, he's a good guy, he's a real [Knicks] fan, he's a great actor, and we've talked about doing a movie together once his schedule clears up," Lee said, before adding with a laugh, "the next four or five years."
He added that his film "will have nothing to do with sports."
Unfortunately for Lee, Chalamet seems pretty booked up right now, as he's heading out on a press tour later this year for his film Marty Supreme . He'll also be filming James Mangold's next film, The High Side , as well as Denis Villeneuve's Dune: Part Three , which is set to hit theaters in December 2026.
The Malcolm X filmmaker also has a lot on his plate right now, as he’s currently promoting his new film, Higher 2 Lower starring Denzel Washington and Jeffrey Wright. He’s also working on his upcoming projects, Prince of Cats and DA SUBISTRUDIO .
