Lee plans comedy concert movie with Morgan

Director Spike Lee is teaming up with comedian Tracy Morgan to release a concert film of the funnyman performing stand-up.

The project will be filmed in a similar way to Passing Strange, the musical Lee shot on Broadway and released earlier this year (09) - and follows Lee's documentaries about basketball stars Michael Jordan and Kobe Bryant.

Morgan is excited, but warns fans his comedy is very different to that of Tracy Jordan - his character in hit TV comedy 30 Rock.

The star tells GQ magazine, "My stand-up is nothing like the TV show. My sense of humour is a turkey, and I pull it out of the oven and baste it in reality."

And he insists it's for adults only: "I talk a lot about sex, because I'm good at it."
