*Chris Rock has reportedly signed on to write a screenplay that was intended for legendary playwright David Mamet.
The film, a remake of Akira Kurosawa’s acclaimed 1963 detective thriller “High and Low,” follows a wealthy executive whose son has been kidnapped.
He’s prepared to pay the ransom using funds he needs for a critical corporate buyout. But, before he can send the payment, he realizes the kidnappers have mistakenly abducted the child of his chauffeur and thus the decision becomes much more complicated. [Watch Kurasawa's 1963 trailer below.]
