Could this pairing be the celestial blockbuster we never saw coming? And what does this mean for the stars aligning over the next few years in Hollywood’s constellation?

Fans are used to seeing Spike Lee and Timothée Chalamet together courtside at New York Knicks games, but could a movie collaboration be next?
The Oscar-winning filmmaker recently set the record straight on The Bill Simmons Podcast that there’s no beef between him and the actor over who’s the biggest Hollywood Knicks fan.
“I feel Chalamet is on your corner a little bit, and I want to make sure you’re good, because he’s become the signature Knicks fan,” host Bill Simmons claimed. “He’s kinda in your real estate. Have you hashed this out? What’s going on here?”
The Highest 2 Lowest director confirmed there’s “no rivalry” and “no competition at all” 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 film together once his schedule clears up,” Lee said, before adding with a laugh, “The next four or five years.”
He added that their film will “have nothing to do with sports.”
Unfortunately for Lee, Chalamet does seem quite packed at the moment, as he’ll be headed out on a press tour later this year for his movie Marty Supreme. He’ll also be shooting James Mangold’s next film, High Side, as well as filming 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 movie, Highest 2 Lowest, starring Denzel Washington and Jeffrey Wright. He’s also working on his upcoming projects, Prince of Cats and Da Understudy.
