Y\u2019all. Meet Queen & Slim<\/em>. And instantly fall in lust, love and lure.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Penned by Lena Waithe (from an original idea by\u00a0A Million Little Pieces<\/em>\u00a0author James Frey, who approached her about it at an industry party) and helmed by Melina Matsoukas, at first glance,\u00a0Queen & Slim<\/em>\u00a0looks to bolt its way into the likes of classics such as\u00a0Bonnie & Clyde<\/em>\u00a0and\u00a0Thelma & Louise<\/em>. Except we won\u2019t have to compare it to those films anymore, we\u2019ll have our own\u2014and it\u2019ll be black as fuck.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Two days after the\u00a02019 Academy Awards<\/a>, I hopped on a plane to New Orleans to visit the set of\u00a0Queen & Slim<\/em>\u00a0with a bunch of other black-ass journalists on a mission to get the scoop from Waithe, Matsoukas, Kaluuya, Turner-Smith, and costume designer Shiona Turini. From that slick-ass Pontiac 400 (which Kaluuya drove around; there wasn\u2019t a\u00a0process trailer<\/a>!) to the gritty cloth of their wardrobe, we immediately felt a part of the world Matsoukas and her crew had created. I was so geeked, I almost forgot about that oppressive ass humidity.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
