Spike Lee has released the first trailer for his A24 and Apple-backed crime thriller “ Highest 2 Lowest ” starring Denzel Washington, A$AP Rocky and more. The movie will be released in theaters this summer after world premiering later this month at the Cannes Film Festival.

Ahead of the film's debut at the Cannes Film Festival in a couple of weeks, A24 and Apple have revealed the first teaser trailer for "Highest 2 Lowest." The new Spike Lee joint stars Denzel Washington as a music mogul with a reputation for having the "best ears in the business" who is targeted with a ransom plot.

Lee's reinterpretation of Akira Kurosawa's 'High and Low,' also starring A$AP Rocky, is set to get its world premiere at the Cannes Film Festival before hitting theaters in August.
