A$AP Rocky, co-chair for the 2025 Met Gala, will celebrate the release of the teaser for his upcoming film "Highest 2 Lowest," starring Denzel Washington and directed by Spike Lee. The teaser features animated shots of the Brooklyn Bridge and includes Washington's voice asking reflective questions. The movie is influenced by Akira Kurosawa's 1963 film "High and Low" and marks the fifth collaboration between Lee and Washington. Rocky is said to have the main role, supported by Jeffrey Wright, Ilfenesh Hadera, and Ice Spice, with a summer release after its Cannes Film Festival debut.
Animated shots of an electric-blue Brooklyn Bridge roll as Washington intones, "Do you believe in yourself? Do you believe you'll be successful?" This is Washington and Lee's first collaboration since 2006's Inside Man and their fifth overall.
The film is loosely based on Akira Kurosawa's 1963 crime film High and Low, which was, in turn, adapted from Ed McBain's 1959 novel King's Ransom.
Despite the focus on Washington in the teaser, Lee previously told Deadline in 2024 that Rocky has "the main role" in the film.
Highest 2 Lowest will release this summer after premiering out of competition at Cannes Film Festival.
