Daniel Kaluuya Writing Dystopian Thriller ‘The Kitchen’ for Netflix
Daniel Kaluuya (Get Out) will next be seen in Jordan Peele’s new movie Nope, and he’s also signed on to write and produce a dystopian thriller for Netflix titled The Kitchen.
Hailing out of the UK, Deadline reports today that Netflix has boarded the project.
“The pic is set in London, 2044, a future where the gap between rich and poor has been stretched to its limits. All forms of social housing have been eradicated and London’s working classes have been forced to live in temporary accommodation on the outskirts of the city. The story follows Izi, a resident of who is desperately trying to find a way out and 12-year-old, Benji, who has lost his mother and is searching for a family, as they battle to survive.”
Kane Robinson (“Top Boy”) and Jedaiah Bannerman are on board to star.
Kibwe Tavares (Robots of Brixton) will make his feature directorial debut with The Kitchen. Kaluuya will produce via 59% Productions, with Joe Murtagh (Calm with Horses) co-writing.
You can expect The Kitchen on Netflix in 2023.
Filming is underway on The Invisible Man director Leigh Whannell’s Wolf Man for Universal and Blumhouse, which will be howling its way into theaters on January 17, 2025.
Deadline reports that Matilda Firth (Disenchanted) is the latest actor to sign on, joining Christopher Abbott (Poor Things), Julia Garner (The Royal Hotel), and Sam Jaeger.
The project will mark Whannell’s second monster movie and fourth directing collaboration with Blumhouse Productions (The Invisible Man, Upgrade, Insidious: Chapter 3).
Wolf Man stars Christopher Abbott as a man whose family is being terrorized by a lethal predator.
Writers include Whannell & Corbett Tuck as well as Lauren Schuker Blum & Rebecca Angelo.
Jason Blum is producing the film. Ryan Gosling, Ken Kao, Bea Sequeira, Mel Turner and Whannell are executive producers. Wolf Man is a Blumhouse and Motel Movies production.
In the wake of the failed Dark Universe, Leigh Whannell’s The Invisible Man has been the only real success story for the Universal Monsters brand, which has been struggling with recent box office flops including the comedic Renfield and period horror movie The Last Voyage of the Demeter. Giving him the keys to the castle once more seems like a wise idea, to say the least.
