Spike Lee, Denzel Washington reunite for a crime thriller

Denzel Washington to collaborate with director Spike Lee for their fifth film titled 'High and Low,' which is based on Akira Kurosawa's 1963 film of the same name

Denzel Washington and Spike Lee are reuniting for their fifth film together. The actor and the veteran filmmaker, who last collaborated on 'Inside Man' (2006), are now partnering on 'High and Low.' The crime thriller is an English language reinterpretation of Akira Kurosawa’s 1963 film of the same name.

Starring Toshiro Mifune, Kurosawa’s classic was based on Ed McBain’s novel, King’s Ransom, which chronicles the ruin of a businessman following a ransom payment to kidnappers. 

Lee and Washington, who previously collaborated on 'Mo’ Better Blues,' (1990), 'Malcolm X' (1992) and 'He Got Game (1998)' are set to begin filming 'High and Low' this March. Apple Original Films and A24 are partnering on the crime thriller, to be released theatrically by A24 before a global launch on Apple TV+.
