Spike Lee spoke about his upcoming film "Highest 2 Lowest" during an on-stage talk Tuesday at the Red Sea Film Festival, where he is the jury head.

A$AP Rocky will appear in Spike Lee’s upcoming movie “High and Low,” the filmmaker’s Americanized version of the 1963 Japanese crime thriller. The rapper joins a cast that includes fellow artist Ice Spice,

Kurosawa’s High and Low is loosely based on Ed McBain/Evan Hunter’s 1959 novel, King’s Ransom. The Japanese crime film follows a company executive who becomes a victim of extortion when his employee’s son is kidnapped for ransom. It starred Toshiro Mifune and Tatsuya Nakadai.
