Daniel Kaluuya is \u201cchilling\u201d on acting after the release of \u201cNope\u201d.<\/p>\n
The 33-year-old actor recently starred in Jordan Peele\u2019s sci-fi horror film and is taking a brief break from acting as he has \u201cnothing lined up\u201d.<\/p>\n
Kaluuya told Deadline: \u201cI like the films to come out and have nothing lined up. You\u2019re showing a new performance, a new way, a new space that you were in at that time, so you gotta let that get out there and spread.\u201d<\/p>\n
The Oscar winner has moved behind the camera as a producer on the comedy movie \u201cHonk for Jesus. Save Your Soul\u201d, which marks the first film from his production company 59%.<\/p>\n
Watch video:<\/strong><\/p>\n The film tells the story of Trinity Childs (Regina Hall) as she attempts to help her pastor husband Lee-Curtis Childs (Sterling K Brown) rebuild their congregation after their church is hit by a scandal.<\/p>\n The movie is shot in the style of a mockumentary and Daniel has revealed that it was an aesthetic choice.<\/p>\n He said: \u201cYou don\u2019t really see films about black people with this tone in this sort of narrative. Let\u2019s discuss these relationships and issues in a digestible way.<\/p>\n \u201cI\u2019m a firm believer in accessible excellence. I think a lot of excellence is inaccessible. I\u2019m a cinephile and I watch films with my friends that I grew up with and I test my taste in films on them to see if they translate to the common man and woman.<\/p>\n \u201cAnd I feel like \u2018Honk for Jesus\u2019 does that. But doesn\u2019t sacrifice craft for it.\u201d<\/p>\n Kaluuya is set to make his screenwriting debut in the dystopian thriller \u201cThe Kitchen\u201d, set in London in a distant future where the gap between rich and poor has been stretched to its limits and desperate working-class people are forced to live in temporary accommodation on the outskirts of the city.<\/p>\n The story centres on Izi, a resident trying to find his way out, and 12-year-old Benji, who is searching for a family after losing his mother.<\/p>\n Kaluuya said of the film: \u201cThe idea came to me when I was sitting in a barber shop and this guy was talking about the idea of multimillion-pound heists in a minute and I just thought that would be the coolest film I\u2019d ever see.\u201d<\/p>\n
