Jackie Robinson screenplay: Read Spike Lee’s unmade script

As the White House announced on Sunday that the federal government’s guidelines for social distancing would be extended until April 30, people lucky enough to be healthy, while stuck at home, are looking for ways to distract their minds from everything going on around them.

Spike Lee has given baseball fans something to do to pass the time. Sitting below a giant Jackie Robinson movie poster, the Oscar-nominated filmmaker announced on Instagram that he is releasing the screenplay for an unmade movie about Jackie Robinson.

The script is the fifth draft, written in 1996.
