“I’m tired of playing it safe. I want to ride-or-die.”
Says the Oscar-nominee Daniel Kaluuya (Get Out) in the exceptional new Queen & Slim trailer.
The film is penned by writer Lena Waithe (Master of None) and director Melina Matsoukas (Insecure, Beyoncé’s “Formation”). The film follows a black man (Kaluuya) and woman (Jodie Turner-Smith), who go on the run after a first date ends with them killing a police officer in self-defense. The entire incident turns into a viral sensation, the duo, now deemed the “black Bonnie and Clyde,” become a symbol of terror and pain for many around the country.
Queen & Slim, which also stars Bokeem Woodbine and Chloë Sevigny, will be ready to release in theaters on November 27.
