TRAILER: Denzel Washington & Spike Lee Reunite in “Highest 2 Lowest”
Spike Lee and Denzel Washington are teaming up again in Highest 2 Lowest, an A24 crime thriller set in the world of New York’s music industry. The film marks the duo’s fifth collaboration and is already building buzz ahead of its world premiere at the Cannes Film Festival later this month.
Based on Akira Kurosawa’s 1963 classic High and Low, Lee’s adaptation switches corporate Japan for the rugged streets of NYC.
The trailer teases a narrative that weaves together success, betrayal, and the dark side of fame.
Highest 2 Lowest features an all-star cast including Jeffrey Wright, Ilfenesh Hadera, and A$AP Rocky, with Ice Spice making her acting debut. The screenplay, penned by William Alan Fox, is loosely rooted in Kurosawa’s film and the 1959 novel King’s Ransom by Ed McBain.
This project will mark Spike Lee’s first film since 2020’s Da 5 Bloods and his long-awaited return to working with Washington after 2006’s Inside Man. The pair also collaborated on Mo’ Better Blues, Malcolm X, and He Got Game.
Highest 2 Lowest hits select theaters on August 22nd and debuts on Apple TV+ on September 5th.
