Denzel Washington and A$AP Rocky get together to star in the new Spike Lee movie, Highest 2 Lowest, an A24 production that will premiere next week at the Cannes film festival. Ahead of the event, the trailer is out today — and we couldn’t be more excited!
“Can you handle the mayhem, can you handle the money, can you handle the success, can you handle the failure, can you handle the lovers, can you handle the memes, can you handle everything that is in between?” Denzel Washington’s voiceover asks stressfully. Academy Award-winning director Spike Lee is teaming up, once again, with his favourite actor (who’s previously starred in Malcolm X, Inside Man, He Got Game, and Mo’ Better Blues) in this reinterpretation of Akira Kurosawa’s crime thriller High and Low, now played out on the dangerous streets of modern day NYC.
