Halle Berry and Denzel Washington made history in 2002 when they each won Oscars for acting in the lead categories.
Now I’m told Berry is considering joining Washington in Spike Lee’s next project. It’s a remake of Akira Kurosawa’s “High and Low.”
World of Reel was the firs to report this, but I had already confirmed it. (Never sit on your good stuff!) So congrats to them.
Believe it or not, Halle and Denzel have never worked together before despite the twin Oscar wins. But “High and Low” is going to be a Big Deal. Many filmmakers have tried to turn the Japanese classic into an American release, but no one ever got it.
This might be because there are no real female leads in it. To pull this off, one of the main characters will have to be re-imagined for Berry. But what a powerhouse coupling this could be!
And how weirdly ironic — and sad– will it be if Halle wins another Oscar. No Black actress has won the award since her triumph — and that was 22 years ago! How is that even possible? Only 7 have been nominated for Best Actress since Berry’s win!
