Daniel Kaluuya to Star in Sci-Fi Film THE UPPER WORLD for Netflix
"Get Out" and "Queen & Slim" star Daniel Kaluuya is set to star in and produce Netflix's scicence fiction thriller "The Upper World" based on the debut novel of Togo-born, British-Nigerian writer Femi Fadugba. The author has a master's degree from Oxford University, where he published papers on quantum physics, and was a Thouron scholar at UPenn.

The story follows Esso, a man caught in a deadly feud and on the verge of expulsion when he realizes he has an unexpected gift. He can access a world where he can see glimpses of the past and the future. A generation away, Rhia is walking to football practice in 2035, unaware that the mysterious stranger she's about to meet desperately needs her help to avert a bullet fired 15 years ago.

"The Upper World" is the first in a planned series of novels from Penguin U.K. and HarperCollins US, which are expected to publish the book in mid-2021 and early 2022, respectively.

Kaluuya will produce alongside Screen Arcade's Eric Newman and Bryan Unkeless. Newman brought the property to Netflix. Fadugba will executive produce.

Kaluuya can next be seen in Warner Bros' "Judas and the Black Messiah".
