Mariah Carey links with Spike Lee for short film
Mariah Carey aims to spoof herself and her life in the upcoming film short, Lovers & Haters. The Spike Lee directed flick, to be produced by 40 Acres & A Mule Filmworks, is a spoof of the life of Carey, with the "lovers and haters" that she encounters along the way, and how she overcomes those obstacles to still be one of the most talented and loved musical sensations in history.
Lee also directed similar vignettes that became video features during Carey's 2006 tour The Adventures of Mimi. Carey worked alongside Benny Medina as executive producer on the 15 minute, $5 million film short. According to IMDb.com (Internet Movie Database), Lovers & Haters, is slated for release on September 16 of this year.
As previously reported by SOHH, in additional to filming the feature length film Tennessee due out later this year, Carey is also in the studio collaborating with super producer Jermaine Dupri on the follow up to her hit CD The Emancipation of Mimi. (SOHH)
