From trailblazing, Emmy-winning scribe Lena Waithe( Netflix’s Master of None) and Melina Matsoukas, the utopian lead of some of this generation’s most powerful pop-culture knows, including Beyonce’s “Formation” and the Nike “Equality” campaign, comes Makeready’s unflinching new drama, Queen& Slim.

While on a forgettable first date together in Ohio, a pitch-black humankind( Get Out’s Daniel Kaluuya) and a black gal( Jodie Turner-Smith, in her first starring feature-film role ), are pulled over for a minor traffic infraction. The statu rises, with abrupt and deplorable ensues, when the three men kills the police officer in self-defense. Terrified and in nervousnes for their lives, the man, a retail employee, and the woman, a criminal defense lawyer, are forced to go on the run. But the accidents is captured on video and croaks viral, and the couple unwittingly become a symbol of damage, fright, dejection and suffering for parties in all regions of the country.

As they drive, these two unlikely fugitives will discover themselves and one another in the most dire and desperate of circumstances, and will forge a depth and potent affection that will reveal their shared humanity and shape the rest of their lives.

Joining a legacy of movies such as Bonnie and Clyde and Thelma& Louise, Queen& Slim is a powerful, consciousness-raising love story that encounters the overwhelming human fee of racism and the life-shattering price of violence.

Waithe wrote the script based on an original feeling by bestselling author James Frey( A Million Little Pieces, Katerina ). The feature-film directorial debut from Melina Matsoukas( manager make of HBO’s Insecure) stars Academy Award( r) nominee Daniel Kaluuya as “Slim” and rising star Jodie Turner-Smith( Syfy’s Nightflyers ), as “Queen.”

Waithe renders the film via her company, Hillman Grad Product, along with Matsoukas via her production fellowship, De La Revolucion Films. Frey induces via his production corporation, 3BlackDot, alongside Andrew Coles and Michelle Knudsen.
