Denzel Washington dans Fences (2016) \u00a9 Bron Studios<\/figcaption>\n <\/figure>\n \n

Spike Lee\u2019s adaptation of Akira Kurosawa\u2019s thriller \u201cHigh and Low\u201d starring Ice Spice<\/h2>\r\n\r\n

 <\/p>\r\n\r\n

Five years after the release of his Netflix production, Da 5 Bloods<\/em>, starring the late Chadwick Boseman<\/strong>, New York director Spike Lee<\/strong> is tackling a Japanese cinematic monster: Akira Kurosawa<\/strong>.<\/p>\r\n\r\n

 <\/p>\r\n\r\n

According to Variety<\/em>, the filmmaker has convinced his friend Denzel Washington<\/strong> to join his adaptation of High and Low<\/em>, a 1963 thriller which follows a villain who kidnaps the son of a Japanese industrialist… but ends up abducting the wrong target.<\/p>\r\n\r\n

 <\/p>\r\n\r\n

As the shooting of the film produced by A24 and Apple Original Films has already started, Denzel Washington will welcome a famous hip-hop figure as co-star, the rapper Ice Spice<\/strong>, who will be part of the cast of this upcoming feature scheduled for 2025.<\/p>\r\n\r\n

Denzel Washington: The Greatest Actor of the 21st Century according to The New York Times<\/h2>\r\n\r\n

 <\/p>\r\n\r\n

Although The New York Times<\/em>\u2019 editors debated at length about the ranking of celebrities featured on their \u201c25 Greatest Actors of the 21st Century\u201d list, they admitted that the decision to place Denzel Washington in the first position had been a unanimous choice straight away.<\/p>\r\n\r\n

 <\/p>\r\n\r\n

After studying journalism and theater at a private Catholic university, whose campuses bordered Harlem in New York where he grew up, Denzel Washington landed his first major role in the film Carbon Copy<\/em> (1981), playing the role of a young teenager from a working-class neighborhood who tries to make his way among the Californian middle-class.<\/p>\r\n\r\n

 <\/p>\r\n\r\n

A strange prologue for Denzel Washington, who today rules over Hollywood with imposing, testosterone-filled roles (Training Day<\/em>, Inside Man<\/em>, Flight<\/em>) in the tradition of his predecessors John Wayne and Clint Eastwood<\/strong><\/a>. Following in Sidney Poitier\u2019s footsteps, the actor also regularly puts his talent to good use in politically committed films (Malcolm X<\/em>, Hurricane Carter<\/em>, Fences<\/em>), making him one of the most listened-to voices in American cinema.<\/p>\r\n\n
