Editors' Note: Sarah Bayer is a summer 2008 Prospect editorial intern.
Spike Lee announced yesterday that he may work with The Wire creator David Simon on a scripted film about Hurricane Katrina. What would have been an interesting follow-up to Lee's HBO documentary When the Levees Broke now has a downright tantalizing pair of names (at least prospectively) behind it. See TAP Online's former (spoilerific) series WireTAP for more on the show's fifth season.
