Teaser Trailer: Spike Lee’s “Highest @ Lowest”

The teaser trailer has gone online for “Highest 2 Lowest,” Spike Lee‘s upcoming reimagining of Akira Kurosawa’s classic “High and Low”.

The original film starred Toshiro Mifune as a shoe company executive who is extorted after his chauffeur’s son is kidnapped by mistake and held for ransom.

Denzel Washington, Jeffrey Wright, Ilfenesh Hadera, A$AP Rocky and Ice Spice co-star in the new film in which Washington’s executive is a music mogul. Lee has previously called this a reinterpretation of the original film.

Alan Fox wrote the screenplay with Lee while Todd Black will produce. This is Lee and Denzel’s fifth film together following “Mo’ Better Blues,” “Malcolm X,” “He Got Game” and “Inside Man”.

Apple Original Films and A24 are partnering on the project with plans to release the film theatrically before it streams on Apple TV+. The movie is already set to have its world premiere in Cannes where it will screen out of competition.
