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 dropped the news during a recent appearance on “The Graham Norton Show.”
“At the Sundance World Premiere, I was in Atlanta because I was filming”[Black] Panther, “the British actor explained.” It was creepy, I cleaned up my schedule. He was telling me, ‘I really want to do it.’ And then he didn’t get the invitation. They didn’t invite me. “
In the interview, Kaluuya bursts out laughing at how absurd the whole situation was.
“So I was just in bed; someone texted me, ‘It’s been great.’
Kaluuya then set the whole issue aside and told “this is the industry.”
And he added, “You don’t want to be in a place you don’t feel like.”
While the alleged safeguard probably sparked a rather awkward conversation at some point, there seems to be no harsh feelings between Kaluuya and “Get Out” writer and director Jordan Peele.
According to Deadline, Kaluuya is in negotiations to co-star with Keke Palmer in Peele’s upcoming secret project. Universal Pictures is scheduled to release the film on July 22, 2022.
