Spike Lee, Denzel Washington Reunite in A24 Thriller

Spike Lee and Denzel Washington reunite for their fifth collaboration in 'Highest 2 Lowest,' a contemporary New York crime thriller produced by A24 and loosely based on Kurosawa's 1963 film 'High and Low.' Washington stars as a music mogul who faces a life-or-death moral crisis when his child is targeted in a ransom plot, with A$AP Rocky making a notable acting turn as his son. The cast also includes Jeffrey Wright, Ilfenesh Hadera, and Ice Spice in her film debut. The movie will premiere at the 2025 Cannes Film Festival, followed by a limited theatrical release on August 22 and an Apple TV+ debut on September 5. The teaser trailer was released by Lee on Instagram, showcasing his signature style and the film's intense moral dilemmas. Anticipation is high due to the celebrated Lee-Washington partnership and the film’s exploration of fame and integrity.
