In a recent interview, director Lee revealed that he was inspired to cast A$AP Rocky in his upcoming film after seeing a meme comparing the rapper to Denzel Washington's son on Instagram.
The film, 'Highest 2 Lowest', is a reinterpretation of Akira Kurosawa's 'High and Low' and stars Denzel Washington as a music mogul targeted in a ransom plot. Rocky plays a significant role in the film, which is set to premiere at Cannes next month.
Lee praised Rocky's performance and expressed excitement about sharing the film with audiences, promising a fresh perspective on the classic story.
