CAMPBELL TO FEATURE IN NEW LEE FILM
British supermodel NAOMI CAMPBELL is set to star in American director SPIKE LEE’s latest film. Campbell will feature in the 25th Hour creator’s next project, which is set to follow a regiment of black soldiers fighting in WWII - a subject the model says she’s "passionate" about.
She says, "I didn’t see much of New York Fashion Week this week (ends16Sep07). I’m actually here for meetings with Spike Lee about his new project - and I signed the contract last night so I can talk about it at last.
I haven’t been able to tell anyone else yet.
"It’s a very very small role but it involves subject matter that I’m really passionate about. It’s about a regiment of black soldiers based in Tuscany in the Second World War - it’s a subject that nobody has ever touched upon. There are all the war time films of course but you never see a black soldier in any of them. I’ll do anything for Spike and I really think we should be more educated about the role of people of colour in our history."
