WIRED @wired.com · Aug 13

Denzel Washington stars in the upcoming Spike Lee movie “Highest 2 Lowest,” a reimagining of the 1963 Akira Kurosawa film “High and Low.” The film confronts how virality, streaming, and AI are impacting the music industry and making it harder to maintain artistic integrity.

Last night at 2:17 AM, every child from Mrs. Gandy's class woke up, got out of bed, went downstairs, opened the front door, walked into the dark … and they never came back.

WEAPONS — from the director of BARBARIAN — opens Friday, Aug. 8. You'll need your emotional support popcorn for this one.

Shadows of kids running in a suburban street at night. The tones are very sinister, ominous. WEAPONS only theaters August 8.

A woman looking stunned
"That finale...holy shit."

A man looking irked.
"The Ending is among the greatest things I've seen on the big screen this year."

"An instant classic, I dare to say alongside psycho, The Shining, and the exorcist"
