Brooklyn penthouse in Denzel Washington's ‘Highest 2 Lowest' lists for $15M
The penthouse that appears in the trailer isn't a movie set; it's the top residence at Olympia Dumbo, a sail-shaped tower overlooking the East River, now seeking $15 million, The Post has learned.
Occupying the entire 33rd floor, Penthouse A at 30 Front St. spans 4,266 square feet with ceiling heights up to 13 feet and a private, 498-square-foot terrace.

While the film's production dressed the interiors, the sweeping views of the Brooklyn and Manhattan Bridges are authentic — no green screen required.
The four-bedroom, 3½-bath home opens from a private elevator landing into a formal foyer, leading to living and dining spaces framed by skyline panoramas.

The building's amenities span more than 38,000 square feet of facilities on three levels.
Residents can access indoor and outdoor pools, a sauna, steam room, juice bar, spin and boxing studios, a bowling alley, children's play areas, and — timely for the US Open — a rooftop tennis court said to be the highest in New York City. Private parking is also available.

'And Just Like That' costume designer never told series was ending
It's the end of the road for New York's iconic fictional fashionista, Carrie Bradshaw. The 'Sex and the City' spinoff series 'And Just Like That' ended after three seasons on Thursday night — concluding the franchise starring Sarah Jessica Parker, which first premiered on HBO in 1998. Now, costume designer Molly Rogers is revealing that she was never officially told the franchise was over. 12 Sarah Jessica Parker as Carrie Bradshaw in the 'And Just Like That' series finale. Craig Blankenhorn/HBO Max 'It wasn't like HBO sent an email saying, 'pack your bags,'' Rogers exclusively told The Post. 'I think that's the only way these days to keep something a secret. Total blackout,' she added. 12 'And Just Like That' costume designers Danny Santiago and Molly Rogers at an event for ''And Just Like That' on June 8, 2023 in New York City. Getty Images for Max® The Emmy-winning costume designer, who also worked on 'Sex and the City' and the 'SATC' movies, said that she had an inkling that Carrie's story was over when she read the script for the final episode. 'I read it and I started thinking,' oh yeah.' There were a lot of little underlying – I feel like – subliminal messages. No one said it [was the end], but in my mind, I always imagined that Carrie would be happily by herself the last time we saw her.' HBO didn't announce that Season 3 would be the final season before it premiered. Showrunner Michael Patrick King and star Sarah Jessica Parker both shared the news on social media on Aug. 1, just two weeks before the series finale aired. 12 Molly Rogers and Danny Santiago attend the 'And Just Like That' Season 2 Special Screening at The Bvlgari Hotel on June 26, 2023 in London, England.

Photograph by Craig Blankenhorn/Max Rogers, who does the 'And Just Like That' costumes along with Danny Santiago, confirmed to The Post that she officially found out at the same time that the general public did. 'Which I'm for. I appreciate it,' she said. She added, 'I'm glad, I might have been weeping as I chose the last shoe, or something. I think it's better to be in the dark, and just think of it fondly, and that you gave it your best shot – even not knowing it was the last shot.' Now streaming on HBO Max, the series finale of 'And Just Like That' ends with Carrie alone in her apartment, apparently at peace with being single. In the final shot, she dances around, clad in a sequined pink top and a long pink tulle skirt. 12 Sarah Jessica Parker, in her final Carrie Bradshaw outfit in the 'And Just Like That' series finale.

Craig Blankenhorn/HBO Max Rogers, who also worked on 'The Devil Wears Prada' and 'Ugly Betty,' told The Post that the sparkly pink top came from Parker herself. 'That last scene, [I was] kind of thinking it could be the end, but even if it just ended up being the end of Season 3, I thought it has the nod to the original tutu,' she said, referring to the tutu that Carrie wore at the beginning of 'Sex and the City.' She explained that the skirt is by Molly Goddard, and she found it in a London runway show. 'And because this episode was set on Thanksgiving, it was cranberry. And that [sequined top] was a personal sweater of Sarah's that Lauren Scott had made, a dear friend.' 12 Sarah Jessica Parker in 1998 wearing the tutu in 'Sex and the City.'

Fans criticized the outlandish look, but Rogers said the negative reactions 'really perplexed me.' The 'And Just Like That' costume designer said that the show was 'always intended to be a moving fashion magazine.' Referring to how Carrie donned the now-infamous look during a jaunt to Washington Square Park, Rogers told The Post, 'Did the fans of the show want her to walk through the Washington Square Park eating ice cream in a sun visor?' 12 Sarita Choudhury with Sarah Jessica Parker in the famous hat in 'And Just Like That.' HBO 12 Sarah Jessica Parker and Sarita Choudhury in 'And Just Like That.'

Reflecting on her time on 'Sex and the City' and 'And Just Like That,' Rogers said that it was always exciting to find a fashion 'treasure,' and 'to see [Parker] come into the fitting room and squeal, 'Where did you find this?'' Rogers added, 'I am spoiled for the rest of my life. There's no one that puts on clothes like Ms. Parker.' She joked that it would be 'downhill' after the 'SATC' franchise. 'Now, I'll probably be doing some prison show, or something,' Rogers joked.

Katie Lowes teases ‘The Hunting Wives' Season 2 return after Jill's death
It's an old wives' tale. 'The Hunting Wives' star Katie Lowes could return to the hit steamy thriller in Season 2, even after her character's dramatic death. 'Anything's possible, right? I definitely think Jill is dead,' Lowes, 42, exclusively told The Post. Advertisement 'I keep getting texts like 'she's not dead. She's in a coma,'' she laughed. 8 Katie Lowes on 'The Hunting Wives.' Lionsgate The 'Scandal' actress explained, 'We know that the [show's] world is wild and out there. So, who knows? But, I think that hopefully there could always be flashbacks.' Advertisement 'The Hunting Wives' has not officially confirmed a Season 2 renewal. But the series, now on Netflix, was the most-streamed show the first week of August, raking up over 2 billion minutes viewed, per Deadline. 8 Malin Akerman and Brittany Snow in 'The Hunting Wives.' Netflix The raunchy hit follows Sophie (Brittany Snow), a Massachusetts woman who relocates to Texas thanks to her husband's job. Soon, she becomes entangled in the web of her new friend Margo Banks (Malin Akerman), the Queen Bee leader of the local community. Advertisement Margo presides over a clique of moms and socialites who like shooting guns – and, she also has affairs with men and women alike, including fellow member of their girl group, Callie (Jaime Ray Newman) and her friend Jill's (Lowes) son, Brad (George Ferrier). Jill is the local preacher's wife and a basketball mom – and she's oddly possessive of Brad. 8 Jaime Ray Newman, Malin Akerman, Brittany Snow, and Katie Lowes in 'The Hunting Wives.' Netflix 8 Katie Lowes in 'The Hunting Wives.' Lionsgate Advertisement 8 Katie Lowes, Brittany Snow, and Malin Akerman in 'The Hunting Wives.' Netflix 'People would ask me if that was hard to play [Jill],' Lowes told The Post. 'Obviously, her marriage is horrible. She got married very young. And I think she's incredibly lonely, and no one cares about her. And she's a very capable, smart woman. And her wires got crossed. And all of her life's passions just fell on Brad.' The actress added, 'She's so complicated and complex, it was so fun to play.' 8 George Ferrier as Brad in 'The Hunting Wives.'

Advertisement 'Chrissy Metz and I were running around on set the night where we were both murdered, and we were calling it 'The Haunting,' like going around trying to scare everyone,' shared Lowes. 8 Katie Lowes as Jill and Jaime Ray Newman as Callie in 'The Hunting Wives.' Netflix The 'Inventing Anna' actress joked that she was 'honestly' a little disappointed that Jill didn't get the racy scenes her counterparts did. Lowes previously revealed she had originally auditioned for Callie. However, after she ended up playing Jill instead, who has no sex scenes, she decided to look on the bright side. Advertisement 'I made it 42 years without having to make that phone call to my dad saying, 'I just want to prepare you,'' she told The Post. Lowes added that she did get nude a few times during her college days at NYU for 'experimental theater,' but that was 'before the iPhone.' She quipped, 'And at the time, I thought I was making the best theater in the world. Looking back, maybe not… But it doesn't live on Netflix!'

Denzel Washington, Spike Lee Couldn't Have Made ‘Highest 2 Lowest' Without Apple Streaming Deal: ‘Industry Has Changed'
But the star and his director still urge audiences to see their latest collab in theaters Aug. 15 Spike Lee and Denzel Washington's 'Highest 2 Lowest' hits theaters on Aug. 15 and in a joint interview with Vanity Fair published Thursday, the pair discussed the film's limited theatrical release and how Apple played a big part in getting the film made. The film will hit the streamer in September. While discussing the shifting landscape of film distribution they acknowledged how limited theatrical rollout is now the name of the game in the industry. More from TheWrap 'Sketch' Saved: How Angel Studios Rescued a Festival Darling and Blessed It With a Big Summertime Release Brands Are Buying Their Way Into Writers' Rooms Tom Cruise Turned Down Trump's 2025 Kennedy Center Honors Due to a 'Scheduling Conflict' Denzel Washington, Spike Lee Couldn't Have Made 'Highest 2 Lowest' Without Apple Streaming Deal: 'Industry Has Changed' 'That's the nature of the business now—they also gave us a lot of money to make the film,' Washington said of Apple's involvement. 'The industry has changed. Time has changed. So we've got to change with the times.' 'This film would not have been made without Apple,' Lee said. 'That's just the truth.' Though Washington and Lee are regarded as an iconic actor/director pairing, it's been a long time since they last partnered in this way. Their first collaboration was 'Mo' Better Blues,' released in 1990, followed by 'Malcolm X' (for which Washington scored a Best Actor nomination) and 'He Got Game' later that decade. Their most recent team-up was 'Inside Man,' which came in 2006 — nearly two decades prior to 'Highest 2 Lowest.' Now, they're playing with house money at A24, with the film (produced in part by Apple Studios) scheduled to land on Apple TV+ on Sept 5. It's a move that gave the pair the freedom to make the film, which adapts Akira Kurosawa's 'High and Low' in the modern day, how they saw fit. It also meant 'Highest 2 Lowest' would have a truncated theatrical window of three weeks — with major chains like AMC and Cinemark not screening the film at all. 'We'd done this four times already, and the last time was a great box office success,' Lee said. 'Not to say that all success is built upon box office, but—' 'But it is called show business,' Washington added. 'No business, no show. No business, no next show.' 'That's true,' Lee said. 'We understand the ramifications of this business.' When the pair made 'Inside Man,' they brought in more than $180 million at the box office. Washington's last theatrical film, 'Gladiator 2,' made roughly $462 million with a budget in the hundreds of millions. A more modest effort, Lee's last solo theatrical effort, 'BlacKkKlansman' (starring Denzel's son, John David Washington) made over $90 million on an approximate budget of $15 million. 'Highest 2 Lowest's' theatrical strategy all but guarantees these numbers will be impossible for Lee and Washington's latest film. Still, the pair urged those who are able to go out and see the film before they stream it in September. 'I'll keep saying August 15,' Washington said. 'No matter how big that TV on the wall in your home is, see it in theaters first,' Lee said. The post Denzel Washington, Spike Lee Couldn't Have Made 'Highest 2 Lowest' Without Apple Streaming Deal: 'Industry Has Changed' appeared first on TheWrap.
