Daniel Kaluuya to Be Honored With Statue in Central London (EXCLUSIVE)
variety.comAlex Ritman Daniel Kaluuya will be honored with a statue in his home city of London celebrating the actor’s breakout role in 2017 hit “Get Out.” The Oscar-winning star, now considered one of the U.K.’s finest on-screen talents, was chosen from a poll of 5,000 British film fans as the actor people would most like to see as part of the “Scenes in the Square” trail in Leicester Square, landing one fifth of the vote.
His statue — depicting the famed ‘Sunken Place’ scene in “Get Out” in which Kaluuya’s character falls into a hypnosis-induced suppressed metaphysical abyss — will be unveiled in October.
Kaluuya joins an eclectic array of statues on the trail from the past century of cinema, including Harry Potter, Batman, Wonder Woman, Mary Poppins and Gene Kelly.
These figures were unveiled 4 years ago and have since seen additions such as the “Game of Thrones” iron throne, Clifford the Big Red Dog and Indiana Jones temporarily gracing the Square.
