Spike Lee’s highly anticipated crime thriller Highest 2 Lowest, starring Denzel Washington, is set to debut out of competition at this year’s Cannes Film Festival.
The film is a bold English-language reinterpretation of Akira Kurosawa’s 1963 classic High and Low. Backed by Apple Original Films and A24, the project marks a major reunion between Lee and Washington. A24 will handle the theatrical release before the film hits Apple TV+ worldwide.
With two legends at the helm and a fresh spin on a revered Japanese noir, Highest 2 Lowest is already shaping up to be one of the most talked-about premieres of the year.
