Denzel Washington and Jeffrey Wright sit down with Sports Illustrated to talk about their new Spike Lee film, Highest 2 Lowest, in theaters August 15. The two legends discuss sports imagery in the movie, the most athletic things they’ve ever done for a role, and the power of fatherhood at the heart of the story.
