Spike Lee and Robert De Niro bring Alphabet City back

Alphabet City

Spike Lee and Robert Deniro are making a new show for Showtime called Alphabet City, set in the raggedy 1980s culture of the East Village. Expect some graffiti, a little crime, rapping and breakdancing, and lots of performance artists. Note to Spike and Bob: please resurrect John Sex for this project. Read more about the show here.

(It's going to take a lot of computer graphics to get that "burned out-abandoned-yet chic" look..)
