Jeffrey Wright is set to reunite with Denzel Washington in Spike Lee’s “High and Low” according to The Hollywood Reporter.

Apple Original Films and A24 announced on Tuesday that Wright, who previously worked with Washington on “The Manchurian Candidate” in 2004, will co-star in the film along with Ilfenesh Hadera (“Billions”).

The film will have a theatrical release before its global launch of Apple TV+. 

No release date has been disclosed.

According to the film’s description, the thriller is an English-language reinterpretation of Akira Kurosawa’s crime thriller High and Low. 

The 1963 Japanese film tells the story of “a shoe executive that was in the middle of a complex corporate takeover when his plans are derailed by the accidental kidnapping and ransom of his chauffeur’s son, instead of his own son.”

Wright, who received an Oscar nomination for his lead role in “American Fiction,” has appeared in HBO’s “Westworld,” and he's starred in films such as “Basquiat,” “Shaft,” “Ali,” The French Dispatch,” “No Time to Die,” “The Batman,” and many more. On the  stage, Wright has starred in “Topdog/Underdog,” “A Free Man of Color” and the original Broadway production of “Angels in America.”

The upcoming film will be the fifth collaboration between Lee and Washington, who worked together on “Mo’ Better Blues,” “He Got Game,” “Inside Man” and “Malcolm X,” which earned Washington an Oscar nomination for Best Actor. 

Washington also worked with Apple on “The Tragedy of Macbeth,” which was released by A24 in 2021.

According to the film’s description, the thriller is an English-language reinterpretation of Akira Kurosawa’s crime thriller "High and Low."

The 1963 Japanese film tells the story of “a shoe executive that was in the middle of a complex corporate takeover when his plans are derailed by the accidental kidnapping and ransom of his chauffeur’s son, instead of his own son.”
