Sturgill Simpson's already headed back to the silver screen.

Not two weeks removed from providing a stellar original song and cameo in Jim Jarmusch's faux-zombie flick "The Dead Don't Die" and viewers can plan to see the Grammy Award-winning songwriter in theaters again later this year for dramatic thriller "Queen & Slim."

In a 90-second trailer, Simpson plays a hostile police officer (Police Officer Reed, he's billed) who interrupts a first date between Slim and Queen, portrayed by Daniel Kaluuya and Jodie Turner-Smith, respectively. The sequence escalates, cutting to a shot of Simpson's character left roadside in a pool of blood.

Coined by a some a "modern-day answer to 'Bonnie and Clyde,' the trailer teases the tension that comes in the aftermath of encountering Police Officer Reed.

A brief description of the film, per IMDb: "A couple's first date takes an unexpected turn when a police officer pulls them over."

"Queen & Slim" offers the directorial debut for Melina Matsoukas, who previously worked on the Beyoncé "Formation" video and popular Netflix series "Master of None." IMDb credits "A Million Little Pieces" author James Frey and Hollywood breakout Lena Waithe on the story, with Waithe also landing a producer credit.

"Queen & Slim" hits theaters Nov. 27. Watch the trailer below.
