By Highest 2 Lowest
Filmmaker Spike Lee has himself confirmed that his new film “Highest 2 Lowest” will be premiering at Cannes next month. The news came less than two hours after the announcement of this year’s Cannes Film Festival line-up and Lee’s film was notably absent.
Denzel Washington stars in this reimagining of Kurosawa’s 1963 crime thriller “High and Low”. The original follows a wealthy man forced to choose between achieving a personal ambition or saving the life of a kidnapped child. [Source: Variety]
