A slate of musicians also graced the carpet, including Judy Collins, Brent Faiyaz, Chance the Rapper, Princess Nokia and Slick Rick. Other notable attendees includedSinnersbreakout Miles Caton, Dapper Dan, Keegan-Michael Key, This Is Us alumna Susan Kelechi Watson, Tony winner Adrienne Warren andThe Sopranos‘ Edie Falco.

Hitting theaters Aug. 15 before arriving on Apple TV+ Sept. 5, the film is a modern reinterpretation of Akira Kurosawa’s 1963 classic High and Low, which was itself based on the novelKing’s Ransom by Ed McBain (Evan Hunter). While the original thriller follows a shoe company executive who becomes a victim of extortion when his chauffeur’s son is kidnapped by mistake and held for ransom, the new pic, set in contemporary New York City, sees a music mogul (Washington) contend with a similar incident.

The crime-thriller marks the first reunion between Washington and Lee since 2006’s Inside Man, with Lee previously revealing the project could mark his final time directing the two-time Oscar-winning actor, given the latter’s potential plans for retirement.
