There was a lot of buzz surrounding Red Hook Summer in development because director Spike Lee reprises his role from the 1989 classic Do the Right Thing.  There were other elements that bode well for one of the better Spike Lee joints in recent years, including the Brooklyn setting and star Clarke Peters (The Wire).  Red Hook Summer polarized critics at Sundance (Matt gave it an "F"), which could be viewed as another positive sign, given Lee's resume.  Both the good (the music, visual flair) and the bad (poor child actors, drowning in that melodrama) are on display in the first trailer.

Jules Brown, Toni Lysaith, Nate Parker, James Ransone, and Thomas Jefferson Byrd star alongside Peters in Red Hook Summer.  Let's you and I wait until it opens on August 10 to make up our minds.  In the meantime, test the waters by watching the trailer after the break.

Official synopsis:
The latest in Spike Lee's Chronicles of Brooklyn anthology--which also  includes "She's Gotta Have It" (1986), "Do The Right Thing" (1989),  "Crooklyn" (1994), "Clockers" (1995), and "He Got Game" (1998)--RED HOOK  SUMMER tells the story of Flik Royale (Jules Brown), a sullen young boy  from middle-class Atlanta who has come to spend the summer with his  deeply religious grandfather, Bishop Enoch Rouse (Clarke Peters), in the  housing projects of Red Hook.  Having never met before, things quickly  get off on the wrong foot as Bishop Enoch relentlessly attempts ...]]></description>

Spike Lee has never suffered from a lack of ambition and the most remarkable thing about his latest film, Red Hook Summer, is how it finds so many ways to be absolutely terrible.  Every seed of a good idea is smothered under the weight of incompetent directing, horrible pacing, rancid dialogue, and atrocious performances from its lead child actors.  The film vomits up banal editorials, slight commentary on religion, minor observations on modern filmmaking, and a vague sense of community.  Many of the main characters celebrate Jesus, and that carries over to the audience when you thank Christ that the movie is over.

Flick (Jules Brown) is uprooted from his comfortable life in Atlanta and forced to stay with his estranged grandfather Enoch (Clarke Peters) over the summer in Red Hook, New York while his mother goes on a trip.  Enoch, a local preacher, makes Flick spend time cleaning up the church and listening to the ravings of the drunken Deacon Z (Thomas Jefferson Byrd).  While working at the church, Flick meets Chazz (Toni Lysaith), a local girl/churchgoer/most-annoying-human-being-on-the-face-of-the-planet.  From there, the movie stumbles from scene to scene without much rhyme or reason, and there's nothing organic about this approach.  In one scene we have Flick using his iPad 2 to conduct an interview with a Red Hook resident, the next scene will have Enoch and one of his congregants talking about the state of black people in modern America, and the next scene will have a local gang member (Nate Parker) ...]]></description>

Spike Lee's Red Hook Summer is one of my must-see films at this year's Sundance Film Festival.  The movie features a cast comprised mostly of unknown and all we knew about the plot was the brief logline: "A young Atlanta boy spends his summer in Brooklyn with his grandfather, who he’s never seen before."  A full synopsis has gone online and reveals that the grandfather, Enoch (The Wire's Clarke Peters) is a strict firebrand preacher who "is bent on getting [the boy] to accept Jesus Christ as his personal savior."

Hit the jump to read the full synopsis and check out new images from the film.  The 2012 Sundance Film Festival runs from January 19–29th.

Here are the new images [via Sundance]:

And here's the full synopsis:
When his mom deposits him at the Red Hook housing project in Brooklyn to spend the summer with the grandfather he’s never met, young Flik may as well have landed on Mars. Fresh from his cushy life in Atlanta, he’s bored and friendless, and his strict grandfather, Enoch, a firebrand preacher, is bent on getting him to accept Jesus Christ as his personal savior. Only Chazz, the feisty girl from church, provides a diversion from the drudgery. As hot summer simmers and Sunday mornings brim with Enoch’s operatic sermons, things turn anything but dull as people’s conflicting agendas collide.

Playfully ironic, heightened, yet grounded, Spike Lee’s bold new movie returns him to his roots, where lovable, larger-than-life characters form the tinderbox of a tight-knit community. ...]]></description>
