Denzel Washington Takes Center Stage in Spike Lee’s Latest Project

Denzel Washington is making waves as a music mogul in the first teaser trailer for Spike Lee’s Highest 2 Lowest.

This visually dynamic preview is packed with rapid-fire scenes from the film, seamlessly blended with iconic shots of the Brooklyn Bridge.

Both Washington and co-star A$AP Rocky are depicted in action, seemingly pursued by law enforcement, adding an element of suspense.

Accompanying these visuals, Washington’s character delivers a powerful voiceover: “There’s more to life than just making money. It’s about integrity, standing for your beliefs, and believing in yourself. Success brings challenges, and with money comes chaos. Can you manage the mayhem, the success, the failures, and everything in between? That’s the real question: Can you handle it? Remember, not all money is good money.”

Lee shared this intriguing preview on his Instagram, acknowledging the audience’s anticipation with, “I know u have been waiting ‘hella long’.”

This collaboration marks the first film between Washington and Lee in nearly 20 years, adding to their impressive portfolio of five collaborations.

Highest 2 Lowest is a reimagining of Akira Kurosawa’s crime thriller High and Low, set in New York City. Washington stars as a powerful music industry executive, renowned for having the “best ears in the business,” who finds himself ensnared in a ransom plot that forces him into a life-or-death moral quandary.

The film boasts a talented cast, including Jeffrey Wright, Ice Spice, and Ilfenesh Hadera, and will make its world premiere at the Cannes Film Festival on Monday, May 19.

Following its premiere, Highest 2 Lowest will be released theatrically by A24 on August 22, before becoming available on Apple TV+ on September 5.
