The pair, who last worked together on 2006’s Inside Man, will reimagine the 1963 crime drama High and Low for Apple and A24

Spike Lee and Denzel Washington are teaming up for the fifth time, reimagining Akira Kurosawa’s 1963 crime drama High and Low. Kurosawa’s work has been remade before multiple times, most recently with 2022’s Living, a new take on Ikiru, starring Bill Nighy, who received an Oscar nomination. The remake will be released theatrically by A24 before heading to Apple TV+, following a similar route to The Tragedy of Macbeth, which scored Washington a best actor Oscar nomination.
