Official Trailer to Spike Lee’s Highest 2 Lowest
A24 has released the official trailer for Spike Lee’s and Apple-backed crime thriller “Highest 2 Lowest” starring Denzel Washington, A$AP Rocky, Ilfenesh Hadera, Jeffrey Wright, Dean Winters, John Douglas Thompson and rapper Ice Spice.
The movie will be released in theaters August 15 and stream on Apple TV+ starting Sept. 5. It had its World Premiere recently at the Cannes Film Festival
Written by William Alan Fox, “Highest 2 Lowest” is loosely based on Akira Kurosawa’s “High and Low,” which follows a businessman deciding whether or not to use his wealth to further his career or save a child’s life. Both “Highest 2 Lowest” and “High and Low” are reinterpretations of Ed McBain’s mystery novel “The King’s Ransom.”
The film marks the fifth collaboration between Lee and Washington after “Mo’ Better Blues,” “Malcolm X,” “He Got Game” and “Inside Man.” “I’m just glad we got five in,” Lee said of working with Washington.
The film, produced by A24, Escape Artists, Mandalay Pictures, 40 Acres and a Mule and Filmworks, began production in New York City and wrapped with cinematographer Matthew Libatique in May 2024.
