Spike Lee Casts A$AP Rocky, Denzel Washington, and Ice Spice in 'Highest 2 Lowest'

The upcoming film is described as a reinterpretation of Akira Kurosawa's 'High and Low' and marks Lee's fifth collaboration with Washington.

Spike Lee's new film 'Highest 2 Lowest' is inspired by Akira Kurosawa's 1963 crime thriller 'High and Low' and will release theatrically via A24 before streaming on Apple TV+.
A$AP Rocky has been confirmed to play the main role, with Denzel Washington as a music mogul and Ice Spice making her acting debut.
Lee emphasized that 'Highest 2 Lowest' is not a direct remake but a reinterpretation, with significant changes to the original's plot and character dynamics.
This project marks the fifth collaboration between Spike Lee and Denzel Washington, following acclaimed films like 'Malcolm X' and 'Inside Man.'
While some fans are skeptical due to Lee's poorly received 2013 'Oldboy' remake, the film's high-profile cast and unique reinterpretation have generated significant buzz.
