Spike Lee has replaced Michael Mann on Gold.
The Red Hook Summer director has taken the reins of the drama, reports The Wrap.
Written by Patrick Massett and John Zinman, the film tells the true story of the 1993 Bre-x Mineral Corporation mining scandal.
It centres around a prospector who stumbles across one of the world's largest gold deposits, hidden in the Indonesian rainforest.
Lee is currently in post-production on the Oldboy remake. The filmmakers hope to make Gold his next project.
Mann has stepped aside to focus on his computer-hacking film Cyber.

Michael Mann Out, Spike Lee In For Paul Haggis-Produced Adventure 'Gold'
17 May 2013 5:59 AM, PDT | The Playlist | See recent The Playlist news »
Though it’s been four years since Michael Mann last directed a feature film, it wasn’t for lack of trying. In addition to the currently-shooting -- and still-untitled -- international-cyber-crime thriller, Mann has the historical epic “Agincourt” and the long-gestating Robert Capa biopic, among countless others. Now The Wrap is reporting that the “Heat” director’s workload just got a little lighter. All the way back in 2011, Mann attached himself to the “Treasure Of The Sierra Madre”-esque Paul Haggis-developed project “Gold.” With his recent flurry of activity Mann decided to bow out of the project, leaving the director's chair open for none other than Spike Lee. It seems that after a period of years of being unable to get his non-documentary projects off the ground -- like the failed "Inside Man" sequel -- Lee has settled back into a rhythm, delivering "Red Hook Summer" last year and »

Spike Lee to Replace Michael Mann as Gold Director
16 May 2013 5:37 PM, PDT | Collider.com | See recent Collider.com news »
It's been a while since we reported on the status of Gold, which previously had Michael Mann (Heat) attached to direct. It looks like Mann has dropped out and Spike Lee (Red Hook Summer) has taken control of the helm. The rags-to-riches tale written by Patrick Massett and John Zinman is based on a true story: set in the 90s, it follows an old-fashioned prospector who happens to stumble upon one of the world's largest gold mines. Mann is stepping aside to direct the international computer-hacking film Cyber. The Wrap reports that producers are hoping that Gold may be Lee's next film. Lee is currently in post-production on his Oldboy remake and should be available to start production on Gold this fall, depending on the schedule of their lead, which has yet to be cast. »

Variance Picks Up North American Theatrical Rights To 'An Oversimplification Of Her Beauty'
14 January 2013 2:19 PM, PST | ShadowAndAct | See recent ShadowAndAct news »
Music to my ears... this is great news! Hat-tip to Variance for making another bold pick-up (recall Spike Lee's Red Hook Summer last year), going where others seemingly will not; and of course congrats to Terence Nance and company. Winner of the Gotham award for Best Film Not Playing at a Theater Near You, An Oversimplification Of Her Beauty will no longer have to live up to what that award title suggests, since the film is coming to a theater near you (hopefully near as many of you as possible), in April! This news comes a month after Cinema Guild acquired non-theatrical distribution rights to the film, which currently »

The Decline Of Spike Lee: A Prisoner Of The Middle Class
2 January 2013 9:21 AM, PST | ShadowAndAct | See recent ShadowAndAct news »
Having seen Spike Lee’s Red Hook Summer (2012) in its entirety I can finally identify three major flaws that comment upon the general decline in the dramatic quality and commercial impact of Spike Lee’s narrative films in recent years. It is highly recommended that you view the film Red Hook Summer before reading this article as it forms the basis of this discussion. Red Hook Summer can be described as a “coming of age” story about a 12 year old boy that goes by the name of Flik (Jules Brown) who is taken by his mother from Atlanta to live for a summer with his Bible thumping Grandfather Bishop Enoch (Clarke Peters) in the Red Hook housing project of »

Django Chained: Tarantino and the American Slave
2 January 2013 4:39 AM, PST | SoundOnSight | See recent SoundOnSight news »
In just barely over a week since its Christmas release, Quentin Tarantino’s eighth feature film, Django Unchained, has exhaustively become a source of public controversy for its setting amongst southern, pre-Civil War plantations where the height of the black man’s plight in the United States was the accepted norm. Not the least of the film’s detractors, the also ever-increasingly controversial auteur Spike Lee has openly refused to patronize his notorious rival’s latest, fairly stating he cannot comment much further due to this position but adding that the piece appears to be a disgrace to his ancestors.
As talked to death as the subject already feels, my own leanings would leave me remiss not to weigh in after what feels like much more than seven days digesting and discussing the new work of one of my – and just about everyone else’s – favorite filmmakers, and the decidedly preemptive reaction to it from, »
