Queen and Slim Trailer

Melina Matsoukas‘ Queen & Slim (2019) movie trailer has been released by Universal Pictures and stars Daniel Kaluuya, Jodie Turner-Smith, Chloe Sevigny, Scott Rapp, and Bokeem Woodbine.

Plot Synopsis

Queen & Slim‘s plot synopsis: “From trailblazing, Emmy-winning writer Lena Waithe (Netflix’s Master of None) and Melina Matsoukas, the visionary director of some of this generation’s most powerful pop-culture experiences, 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 black man (Get Out’s Daniel Kaluuya) and a black woman (Jodie Turner-Smith, in her first starring feature-film role), are pulled over for a minor traffic infraction. The situation escalates, with sudden and tragic results, when the man kills the police officer in self-defense. Terrified and in fear for their lives, the man, a retail employee, and the woman, a criminal defense lawyer, are forced to go on the run. But the incident is captured on video and goes viral, and the couple unwittingly become a symbol of trauma, terror, grief and pain for people across the country.

As they drive, these two unlikely fugitives will discover themselves and each other in the most dire and desperate of circumstances, and will forge a deep and powerful love that will reveal their shared humanity and shape the rest of their lives.

Joining a legacy of films such as Bonnie and Clyde and Thelma & Louise, QUEEN & SLIM is a powerful, consciousness-raising love story that confronts the staggering human toll of racism and the life-shattering price of violence.”

Queen & Slim‘s also cast Joseph Singletary, Divine Prince Ty Emmecca, Thom Gossom Jr., Calvin Williams, and Roman Armstrong.
