As Yahoo stated, A$AP will have the “main role” in the film. So far, he has acted in “Dope,” which was his acting debut, and then in “Zoolander 2” (2016).
Earlier this year, A$AP Rocky appeared in Rihanna’s short film Born to Steal: Yours, Mine, Ours. Director Spike Lee claims,
“This is not a remake, this is a reinterpretation of Akira Kurosawa’s great film,” Lee told Deadline. “In Kurosawa’s film, Toshiro Mifune is a shoemaker. In our film Denzel Washington is a music mogul with his own label and his reputation as the best ears in the business. So, this is the fifth film with the dynamic duo.”
As we all know, Denzel Washington has worked with Spike Lee several times before. Denzel’s critically acclaimed work in “Malcolm X” caused a stir.
Rapper To Star In High & Low Adaptation
At first, there were rumors that A$AP would be acting in Spike Lee’s new venture. We can now restate the rumors because A$AP will have a leading role in “Highest 2 Lowest.”
Producer Todd Black, who also worked with Denzel in the film, “Fences,” is working with Spike Lee. Details of A$AP Rocky’s character, “Yung Felon,” have not been released.
Perhaps that is why Spike Lee said the film is not a remake. We anticipate Spike Lee will create a masterpiece. Especially since, Spike Lee is one of the most celebrated film directors ever.
A$AP Rocky’s foray into acting marks a new chapter in his illustrious career, and fans are eager to see how he will fare in this new role. The rapper’s natural charisma and stage presence make him a compelling choice for the film.
His collaboration with Spike Lee will undoubtedly result in an innovative and thought-provoking project. As details about the remake continue to emerge, audiences can look forward to seeing A$AP Rocky shine in his new role.
