From the legendary writer and director, Spike Lee, we will soon get his latest joint in cinemas. The film, Highest 2 Lowest, hits cinemas and Apple TV+ on September 5th. This film is an English-language reinterpretation of Akira Kurosawa’s 1963 Japanese movie “High and Low.” It was loosely based on the 1959 novel “King’s Ransom” by Ed McBain. The cast includes Denzel Washington, Ilfenesh Hadera, Jeffrey Wright, ASAP Rocky, and Ice Spice, who is making her film debut. Alan Fox wrote the screenplay for the film, which was delivered to Lee before the COVID-19 pandemic. The official trailer for the film has risen and is now available to watch below.
