The Story Behind Mars
The name Mars, which was Lee’s very memorable character in the film, came from the director’s great great grandfather. When searching for a name for the character while writing the movie, Lee reportedly asked his grandmother for help. She gave him the name of her own grandfather. Lee probably didn’t foresee Mars Blackmon becoming such a big figure in pop culture, appearing in popular Air Jordan commercials and more.
