Netflix picks up Rodney King, a one-man show directed by Spike Lee
Variety reports that Netflix will be broadcasting Rodney King, the latest project from director and producer Spike Lee. Written and performed by Lee’s long-time collaborator Roger Guenveur Smith—a noted stage actor whose credits include Lee’s Do The Right Thing—the one-man show tells the story of the Los Angeles cab driver whose videotaped beating at the hands of the LAPD sparked widespread unrest in 1992.
