Jodie Turner-Smith And Daniel Kaluuya
“Thank you for bringing us this far… Thank you for this journey… no matter how it ends.” Universal has debuted the full-length trailer for the movie Queen & Slim, directed by music video filmmaker Melina Matsoukas, from a screenplay written by the very talented Lena Waithe. The title is a nod to Bonnie & Clyde, about two people who go on the run after an accident.
A couple’s first date takes an unexpected turn when a police officer pulls them over, but the man then kills the cop in self defense. Terrified and in fear for their lives, the man, a retail employee, and the woman, a criminal defense lawyer, decide to go on the run. Starring Daniel Kaluuya as Slim, Jodie Turner-Smith (from “Nightflyers”) as Queen. “Joining a legacy of films such as Bonnie & Clyde and Thelma & Louise, Queen & Slim is a powerful, consciousness-raising love story that confronts the staggering human toll of racism and the life-shattering price of violence.” Also starring Bokeem Woodbine, Sturgill Simpson, Chloë Sevigny, and Scott Rapp. This looks so damn good. It’s a complex, dangerous concept, but seems to be handled with such deep heartfelt care and concern.

Jodie Turner-Smith Games Of Thrones
Don’t be surprised if you start to see more of Jodie Turner-Smith.The striking actress, who plays Melantha Jhirl in SYFY’s new Nightflyers based on the George R. R. Martin novella, began her career by playing a siren in HBO’s True Blood. And after popping up in projects like TNT’s The Last Ship and the 2017 film Newness, Turner-Smith is now set to star opposite Daniel Kaluuya in Lena Waithe’s Queen & Slim, helmed by Melina Matsoukas.
Looking at her resume, you can see that Turner-Smith has been hard at work, and her rapid rise is just one payoff. Speaking with ESSENCE, the actress shared that one of the reasons she loves acting is having the opportunity to represent dark-skinned women on TV.“The fact that I’m being cast in a show to play a female lead and I’m the dark-skinned Black woman with short hair, it’s so incredible,” she told ESSENCE.
“When I think about what it meant to me in the past, what it meant to me when I was younger to see someone who was dark-skinned in the public eye at all; the fact that I can create a character that a little dark-skinned girl is going to look at and watch and say, ‘Look at this strong woman on television. Look at this strong woman on my movie screen,’ is humbling and so exciting,” Turner-Smith continued.And Turner’s accurate portrayal in Nightflyers is a BIG DEAL.
Described as “a head taller than anyone on board, a large-framed, large-breasted, long-legged, strong, muscles moving fluidly beneath shiny coal-black skin” in Martin’s novella, Melantha was whitewashed in the 1987 film adaptation and in the art for the novella.When SyFy picked up the project and adapted it for TV, Martin made it clear that he wanted the character done right.
Turner admitted that taking on the character was “a little bit overwhelming,” which is understandable considering Martin’s place in pop culture and the frenzy around any project the author is connected to. Martin is responsible for one of the biggest small screen phenomenons, HBO’s mega-hit Game of Thrones.
“I read the Nightflyers novella and knowing that it was something that had been written by George R.R. Martin, knowing how those stories kind of go, I was really curious to see what happened to my character in the source material,” Turner-Smith said.The starlet said she had “this huge load of confidence” after getting Martin’s approval.“He thought it was a good character and I thought that was just wonderful. It was a huge load of confidence going into it that kind of just gave me a little bit of wind beneath my wings to really go and make this my own,” she continued.
Turner-Smith’s done just that with Melantha, presenting the character as strong, vulnerable, and multi-faceted.
