Daniel Kaluuya Directs Dystopian London Thriller ‘The Kitchen’ Trailer

“You ain’t built like them.” Netflix has revealed the official trailer for The Kitchen, a sci-fi thriller marking the feature directorial debut of acclaimed British actor Daniel Kaluuya. He co-directs this with British filmmaker (and architect) Kibwe Tavares, with a release set for January streaming worldwide on Netflix. This originally premiered at the Closing Night film at the 2023 London Film Festival a few months ago. A story of fatherhood and love for the community… Every city has a Kitchen. In a dystopian London, the gap between rich and poor has been stretched to its limits. Izi’s close to escaping The Kitchen, one of London’s last remaining housing estates. But when young Benji enters his life, he faces some hard decisions. In future London where all social housing has been eliminated, Izi & Benji fight to navigate the world as residents of a community that refuses to abandon their home. The film stars Kane Robinson + introducing Jedaiah Bannerman as Izi & Benji, with Hope Ikpoku Jr, Ian Wright, BackRoad Gee, Cristale, Teija Kabs, and Demmy Ladipo. This is a rather confusing trailer, not quite sure what the plot is about. Check it out. // Continue Reading ›
