The film, which stars<br \/>\nZaraah Abrahams and Stephen Tyrone Williams, will be distributed in North America by Gravitas Ventures and will come to theaters and on demand Feb. 13, 2015. <\/p>\n<p>The film is a reinterpretation of 1973&#8217;s popular horror film &#8220;Ganja &#038; Hess.&#8221; The film, funded through Kickstarter, made its debut at this year&#8217;s American Black Film Festival. <\/p>\n<p>\u201cMaking &#8216;Da Sweet Blood of Jesus&#8217; is one of my most gratifying experiences in my body of work,\u201d said Lee in a statement. \u201cThe support and love we got raising the money through Kickstarter is a true blessing. I thank everyone who brought this New Spike Lee Joint to life.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Gravitas Ventures&#8217; founder and CEO Nolan Gallagher also made a statement about acquiring the rights to the film. <\/p>\n<p>\u201cWe are thrilled to collaborate with Spike Lee to release &#8216;Da Sweet Blood of Jesus&#8217; in theaters and on demand across North America,\u201d said Gallagher. \u201cThe performances from emerging talents Zaraah Abrahams and Stephen Tyrone infuse what will be one of the most talked about films from Spike\u2019s storied career.\u201d  <\/p>\n<p>The synopsis for the film involves a doctor who becomes more than a mortal man after coming into contact with a strange object. <\/p>\n<blockquote><p>&#8220;A Spike Lee Joint, 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 (Stephen Tyrone Williams) is introduced to a mysteriously cursed artifact by an art curator, Lafayette Hightower (Elvis Nolasco), 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\u2019s wife, Ganja Hightower (Zaraah Abrahams), 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\u2019s horror cult film &#8216;Ganja &#038; Hess&#8217;, which played as a Critics\u2019 Choice at the 1973 Cannes Film Festival, Spike Lee\u2019s stylized thriller features an Original Score by Bruce Hornsby.&#8221;<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>You can learn more about the film at its <a href=\"www.facebook.com\/DaSweetBloodofJesus\" target=\"_blank\">official Facebook page.<\/a> <\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/www.shockya.com\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/Spike-Lee-Da-Sweet-Blood-of-Jesus.jpg\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/www.shockya.com\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/Spike-Lee-Da-Sweet-Blood-of-Jesus.jpg\" alt=\"Spike Lee Da Sweet Blood of Jesus\" width=\"600\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-148367\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.shockya.com\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/Spike-Lee-Da-Sweet-Blood-of-Jesus.jpg 620w, https:\/\/www.shockya.com\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/Spike-Lee-Da-Sweet-Blood-of-Jesus-200x300.jpg 200w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 620px) 100vw, 620px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Spike Lee&#8217;s latest film, &#8220;Da Sweet Blood of Jesus&#8221; has been picked up by Gravitas Ventures!
