ESPN announced Saturday that it will not be releasing the multi-part documentary series on Colin Kaepernick that was being helmed by director Spike Lee.

It is believed the series can still be shopped elsewhere, a source briefed on the situation told The Athletic.

I’m going to hear it from him if I’m not bringing it,” Lee tells Vanity Fair. “I don’t want my brother to get my ass slapped. Can’t do that. There’s a standard we have.”

CNN’s Victor Blackwell talks with director Spike Lee about President Donald Trump’s orders about what should and shouldn’t be displayed at the Smithsonian Institutions.

“ESPN, Colin Kaepernick and Spike Lee have collectively decided to no longer proceed with this project as a result of certain creative differences,” ESPN said in a statement to Reuters on Saturday. “Despite not reaching finality, we appreciate all the hard work and collaboration that went into this film.”

Denzel Washington and Spike Lee took AP entertainment journalist Gary Gerard Hamilton on a journey from "Hightest 2 Lowest" while promoting their fifth film together.

ESPN Films had commissioned Spike Lee to create an eight-part documentary regarding former NFL quarterback Colin Kaepernick.

Spike Lee says he and fellow New York Knicks superfan Timothée Chalamet have discussed teaming up for a movie: 'We've talked about doing a film together once his schedule clears up.'
