“Now, I chose Shaft because a film… the film I did just before this last film I’m doing now, Richard Roundtree was my co-worker on the thing, on Thelma, and I rode around on a scooter with him behind me and I kept thinking, “Oh my God, that’s Shaft behind me.” So I wanted the memento for him, really.”
