Spike Lee's Highest 2 Lowest, Kurosawa's film, and a 1962 TV show episode share one surprising link
It might surprise some movie fans, but Spike Lee's latest film, Highest 2 Lowest, Akira Kurosawa's High and Low, and an old 1962 TV episode all come from the same source material. The crime novel King's Ransom by Ed McBain. The novel came out in 1959 and is part of McBain's long-running 87th Precinct series. The stories are set in a made-up city and follow a group of detectives solving tough crimes. Denzel Washington stars in Spike Lee's Highest 2 Lowest.(YouTube/A24) Lee's film, which stars Denzel Washington, keeps the main idea from the book, a tense kidnapping and ransom, but updates it for today. The setting, the style, even the social themes feel modern, though the bones of the story are still there. King's Ransom inspires 3 different adaptations Kurosawa's classic 1963 High and Low also took inspiration from King's Ransom. He moved the action to Japan and told it in his own way, but the moral struggle at the heart stayed the same. Before either of those films, the story had already hit TV. In 1962, the NBC series 87th Precinct aired an episode called King's Ransom according to IMDb. It followed the book closely. That show did not last long, just one season, but it was known for showing police work in a more realistic way than most dramas at the time. The cast included Robert Lansing, Gena Rowlands, and Norman Fell. Despite its short run, the show built a small but loyal fan base. Also read: Movie Review: Spike Lee's 'Highest 2 Lowest' finds its groove in New York's streets Spike Lee's Highest 2 Lowest inspired by cult classic novel Ed McBain- real name Evan Hunter- became one of the most important crime writers of his time. His books did not just sell well; they kept inspiring directors for decades. You can see it clearly here: one book leading to a Japanese classic, a new Spike Lee movie, and a forgotten TV episode from the early '60s. Three very different takes, all born from the same 1959 crime novel. Shows how a strong story can live on in so many forms. FAQs Q1. What is Spike Lee's Highest 2 Lowest about? It's a modern take on the kidnapping drama High and Low, set in New York and starring Denzel Washington. Q2. What novel inspired these films and the TV episode? The 1959 crime novel King's Ransom by Ed McBain. Q3. Who else adapted the book before Spike Lee? Akira Kurosawa adapted it in 1963 as High and Low, and NBC made a TV episode in 1962 for 87th Precinct. Q4. What is the 87th Precinct series? It's a police procedural book series by Ed McBain, later turned into a short-lived TV series in the early 1960s. Q5. Why is King's Ransom important? It's an example of how one crime novel can cross cultures and decades, inspiring very different screen versions.

After Saiyaara success, old video of Ahaan Panday rapping with pet MC Peach wins hearts online
After his heartfelt performance in Saiyaara, Ahaan Panday is winning hearts online again—this time with his dog. An old video of the actor rapping with his pet, named 'MC Peach,' has gone viral on social media. Fans can't get enough of the cute moment and are praising Ahaan's fun-loving personality. Recently, he was also seen happily clicking selfies and chatting with fans. Ever since his debut film Saiyaara hit the big screen, Ahaan has been showered with love. The romantic drama has broken box office records and has even earned praise from many celebrities. Mohit Suri says Saiyaara was always meant to feature fresh faces Director Mohit Suri, who helmed Saiyaara, told News18 in an interview that the film was always meant to feature fresh faces. He shared that Yash Raj Films head Aditya Chopra told him the film wouldn't work with established stars. Initially, Mohit considered suggesting big names for the lead roles but later stuck to his gut and cast newcomers Ahaan Panday and Aneet Padda . 'I really put a lot of my voice into the film. In this atmosphere where everyone was blowing up cars, I was making this love story with new people. I put a lot of myself into writing the film, along with my assistant. I sent the script to YRF during the December holiday weekend, and I chickened out. I thought, let me give him some solution—in the sense of suggesting some actors and known names who would back me and make this film. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like Even Beautiful Women Have Their 'Oops' Moments Read More Undo I so badly wanted to make this film,' Mohit said. Varun Badola disagrees In a YouTube interview with Nayandeep Rakshit, actor Varun Badola dismissed the notion that Saiyaara proved 'we don't need stars anymore.' He argued that swapping lead actors between films would not yield the same success, explaining that if Ahaan Panday were placed in Jawan, the film would flop, and if Shah Rukh Khan were cast in Saiyaara, it would also fail. According to him, Shah Rukh would overshadow the story, while Ahaan would lack the persona needed to lead a big commercial film like Jawan. Badola also commented on the social media hype around Saiyaara, noting that the promotions seemed over the top. He pointed out how some Instagram posts showed people breaking bangles, beating their chests, or even watching the film while on IV drips—gestures he believed were orchestrated for content. He added, with some humor, that thankfully no one went so far as to break their legs and crawl to the theatre. About the film Saiyaara is a Mohit Suri-style love story about Ahaan, a passionate musician, and Aneet, a dedicated writer. Their relationship is tested by loss, sacrifice, and life's challenges. Written by Rohan Shankar and Sankalp Sadanah, the movie also stars Geeta Agrawal Sharma, Sid Makkar, Shaad Randhawa, Rajesh Kumar, and Varun Badola. This marks the first-ever collaboration between Mohit Suri and Yash Raj Films. "Get the latest news updates on Times of India, including reviews of the movie Coolie and War 2 ."
