Director Spike Lee has released the trailer for his new crime thriller“Highest 2 Lowest” starring Denzel Washington, A$AP Rocky, Jeffrey Wright, and Ilfenesh Hadera.

The project marks the fifth time that Lee and Washington have collaborated on a feature film; they previously worked together on the projects: Mo’ Better Blues (1990), Malcolm X (1992), He Got Game (1998) and Inside Man (2007).

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.”

An official film synopsis reads: “When a titan music mogul (Denzel Washington), widely known as having the ‘best ears in the business,’ is targeted with a ransom plot, he is jammed up in a life-or-death moral dilemma.”

The movie will be released in theaters August 22 and stream on Apple TV+ starting Sept. 5 ; see the teaser trailer – HERE.
