Daniel Kaluuya recently revealed that he was not invited to the world premiere of the 2017 film “Get Out” at the Sundance Film Festival – despite being the star of the film.
Kaluuya broke the news during a recent appearance on The Graham Norton Show.
“At the world premiere at Sundance, I was in Atlanta because I was filming ‘[Black] Panther ‘, ”explained the British actor. “I was relaxing, I cleared my schedule. I was like, ‘I really want to do this.’ And then I just didn’t get the invitation. I was not invited. “
In the interview, Kaluuya burst out laughing at how absurd the whole situation was.
“So I was in my bed – someone sent me a message: ‘It was done very well'”.
Kaluuya then shrugged, calling it “this is the industry”.
And he added, “You don’t want to be in a place that doesn’t feel wanted.”
Although the presumed slip probably led to quite a strange conversation at some point, there doesn’t seem to be any hard feelings between Kaluuya and “Get Out” writer and director Jordan Peele.
According to Deadline, Kaluuya is in talks to co-star with Keke Palmer on Peele’s next secret project. Universal Pictures is planning to release the film on July 22, 2022.
