Maverick filmmaker Spike Lee insists he hasn't turned main stream despite finding box office success with last film Inside Man. The 2006 heist drama, which starred Denzel Washington and Clive Owen, was a massive success for Lee but he claims the film's triumph hasn't made future projects any easier to secure.

The director, who is currently working on pre-production on World War II drama Miracle At St. Anna, says, "My last feature film, Inside Man, was my most successful so far, and I was naive enough to think that meant I could go from there and make any film I wanted to make. But I was very, very wrong about that. Anybody who thinks that I've become part of the mainstream doesn't understand the way it works."
