Denzel Washington recognizes that not all wealth is valuable, yet he amassed it nonetheless.
In the world of Hollywood, Denzel Washington has entered a new phase, often found reeling off aphorisms about fame and filmmaking. This "zen era" comes as the veteran actor prepares for the release of his latest film, "Highest 2 Lowest," directed by Spike Lee.
The film tells the story of a music mogul caught in a ransom plot on the eve of a big business deal. Washington plays the lead role, reflecting on past money jobs in an interview with CNN. Interestingly, his character does not share the same concerns about technology as portrayed in the film.
Washington's career has been consistently packed with gems, and his kids have followed in his footsteps in the entertainment industry. John David and Olivia are successful actors, Malcolm is a film director, and Katia is a producer.
"Highest 2 Lowest" is not Washington's first collaboration with Lee. The two have worked together on four previous films, including "Do the Right Thing," "Mo' Better Blues," "Malcolm X," and "25th Hour." This latest project marks their fifth film together.
Washington's character in "Highest 2 Lowest" is a far cry from his roles in movies like "Virtuosity" (1995) and "Courage Under Fire" (1996). In "Virtuosity," Washington played a former cop dealing with a virtual reality villain who escapes into the real world. In "Courage Under Fire," he starred as a U.S. Army officer investigating the worthiness of a Medal of Honor nominee during the Gulf War.
Interestingly, Washington mentioned a few movies he worked on in the mid-'90s, including "Crimson Tide," "Philadelphia," and "The Pelican Brief," but did not mention these two films. However, they are well-known mid-'90s Denzel movies from general knowledge.
Unlike his character in "Highest 2 Lowest," Washington is not affected by social media or AI-generated music. He is not active on social media and does not make money off such platforms.
"Highest 2 Lowest" is set to hit US cinemas on August 15. Fans of Denzel Washington and Spike Lee are eagerly awaiting this latest collaboration, which promises to be a thrilling ride.
Denzel Washington's latest film, "Highest 2 Lowest," promises to be an entertaining ride in the world of movies-and-tv, as he plays a lead role in a thrilling story. The film's release will also offer an opportunity for fans to engage with Washington's work alongside celebrities like Spike Lee, with whom he has a history of collaborations in the entertainment industry.
