The first official trailer for Spike Lee’s “Da Sweet Blood Of Jesus”, a remake of cult classic “Ganja & Hess” by Bill Gunn. The film stars Stephen Tyrone Williams, Zaraah Abrahams, Rami Malek, and Elvis Nolasco. “Da Sweet Blood Of Jesus” is due out February 13, 2015 in limited theatrical release and VOD.Da Sweet Blood of Jesus is a new kind of love story, one that centers on an addiction to blood that once doomed a long forgotten ancient African tribe. When Dr. Hess Green is introduced to a mysteriously cursed artifact by art curator Lafayette Hightower, he is uncontrollably drawn into a newfound thirst for blood that overwhelms his soul. He however is not a vampire. Lafayette quickly succumbs to the ravenous nature of the infliction but leaves Hess a transformed man.
Soon Lafayette’s wife, Ganja Hightower, comes looking for her husband and becomes involved in a dangerous romance with Hess that questions the very nature of love, addiction, sex, and status in our seemingly sophisticated society. A reinterpretation of Bill Gunn’s horror cult film Ganja & Hess, which played as a Critics’ Choice at the 1973 Cannes Film Festival, Spike Lee’s stylized thriller features an original score by Bruce Hornsby.
