Described as a Bonnie and Clyde story, the film is about black man and black woman who go on a first date that goes awry after they are pulled over by a police officer at a traffic stop. They kill the police officer in self-defense and rather than turn themselves in, they go on the run. Kaluuya, best known for starring in horror thriller "Get Out" and Marvel's "Black Panther" will play Slim in the new film. Matsoukas, Waithe and casting director Carmen Cuba are currently looking for a new face to play Queen. The film is expected to start shooting early next year.
