The Big Picture Spike Lee is finishing up work on his latest joint. The acclaimed director has confirmed that filming has wrapped on High and Low, his upcoming A24 and Apple Original Films' remake of the classic 1963 Akira Kurosawa film of the same name. The police procedural film will star Denzel Washington, marking the fifth collaboration between the director and the Academy Award-winning actor, a fact Lee mentioned in his wrap announcement.
In addition to Washington, the film will star Jeffrey Wright and rapper Ice Spice in undisclosed roles. Lee directed from a script he co-wrote with Alan Fox. The film was produced by Todd Black for Escape Artists and Jason Michael Berman for Mandalay Pictures. Lee executive produced for his 40 Acres And A Mule Filmworks alongside Peter Guber of Mandalay and Juniper Production's Matthew Lindner, Chris Brigham, and Katia Washington.
Lee will be the director who finally cracked the code on a Hollywood High and Low remake after directors such as Martin Scorsese, Mike Nichols, and Steven Spielberg all tried unsuccessfully to reboot the film. It will be Lee's first project since 2020's Da 5 Bloods and comes six years after his highly acclaimed film, 2018's BlacKkKlansman, garnered six Oscar nominations, including Lee for Best Director.
