The film centers on a black man and black woman who go on a first date that goes awry after the two are pulled over by a police officer at a traffic stop. They kill the police officer in self-defense and rather than turn themselves in, they go on the run.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cQueen &amp; Slim\u201d will go into pre-production this October with production commencing in January. Matsoukas and Waithe are still searching for a fresh face for the role of Queen.<\/p>\n<p>Waithe is producing the film through her company, Hillman Grad Productions, along with Matsoukas\u2019 production company De La Revoluci\u00f3n Films and Frey\u2019s 3BlackDot.
