‘The Kitchen’ Trailer Follows Class Clash in Dystopian London for Daniel Kaluuya’s Directorial Debut
A war is coming to London as the gap between rich and poor is stretched to its limits in the trailer for Netflix’s The Kitchen.
Co-directed by Daniel Kaluuya and Kibwe Tavares, the upcoming science fiction drama pits the underclass of a dystopian London against a brutal ruling class in a society where social housing has been eliminated. Instead, the working class make up the residents of “The Kitchen,” including British actor and rapper Kane Robinson’s Izi.
“I’m getting out of this place,” Izi tells one man in the trailer, who responds, “It’s our home.”
With Jedaiah Bannerman’s Benji — the son he never knew — under his wing, Izi fights to escape a place plagued by violent repression as their community refuses to leave the place they call home. The two-minute trailer mostly focuses in on painting the film’s universe through a series of action...

Sooner or later, if you're a big-name actor with dreams of even bigger ambitions, it's likely that you'll eventually try your hand at stepping behind the other side of the camera for a change. In what feels like no time at all, Daniel Kaluuya has built up a strong and wide-ranging body of work under his belt, breaking out with 2017's "Get Out" (although real ones know him from the British dramedy TV series "Skins") and following that up with a trip to blockbuster land in "Black Panther," reuniting with director Jordan Peele in last year's "Nope," and most recently voicing fan-favorite superhero Hobie Brown (aka Spider-Punk) in "Spider-Man: Across the Spider-Verse." But it seems that Peele's specific career arc has rubbed off on Kaluuya a bit, since he's now become the latest performer-turned-director with the impending release of his directorial debut.

Step into an eerily familiar, dystopian London in the first trailer for Kibwe Tavares and Daniel Kaluuya’s The Kitchen.
Daniel Kaluuya is just the latest actor to step behind the camera and try their hand at directing. The Oscar winner has teamed up with Kibwe Tavares to bring to life a dystopian vision of London and we have it on very good authority that the film is pretty special.
Take a look at the very first The Kitchen trailer.
The film is scheduled to premiere in cinemas on 12 January for a limited run before hitting Netflix 19 January, so thankfully, we’ll only have to wait about a month before watching The Kitchen. It’s a completely original story, coming from a pair of first time directors and that is something to get excited about.
Here’s the official synopsis: “In a dystopian London, the gap between rich and poor...
