NEW YORK — Spike Lee is not feeling the love from Hollywood’s money men.

Lee has lately focused on documentary work with two films about post-Katrina New Orleans for HBO. But he had designs on biopics about Jackie Robinson – the Brooklyn Dodgers slugger who broke baseball’s color line – and soul icon James Brown. And he was in discussions a while back for a sequel to thrillerInside Man, which starred Denzel Washington, Clive Owen and Jodie Foster. But he’s been unable to secure financing.
