Daniel Kaluuya recently revealed that he was not invited to the world premiere of the 2017 film “Get Out” at the Sundance Film Festival, even though he was the star of the film.
Kaluuya dropped the news during a recent appearance in ‘The Graham Norton Show’.
‘At the Sundance World Premiere I was in Atlanta because I shot'[Black] Panther, ” the British actor explained. ‘I chewed, I cleared my schedule. I was like, ‘I really want to do this.’ And then just do not get the invitation. I was not invited. ”
In the interview, Kaluuya then bursts out laughing at how absurd the whole situation was.
“So I was just in my bed, and someone texted me, ‘It did really well. ‘
Kaluuya pulls the whole thing up and rubs it up to “this is the industry.”
And he added: “You do not want to be in a place where you do not feel desired.”
While the alleged slip at some point probably led to a rather awkward conversation, there do not seem to be any hard feelings between Kaluuya and the writer and director of ‘Get Out’, Jordan Peele.
According to Deadline, Kaluuya is in negotiations to play with Keke Palmer in Peele’s secret upcoming project. Universal Pictures plans to release the film on July 22, 2022.
