BGN interviews Oscar-winning filmmaker Jordan Peele for the Universal Pictures film Nope.
Peele disrupted and redefined modern horror with Get Out and then Us. Now, he reimagines the summer movie with a new pop nightmare: the expansive horror epic, Nope. The film reunites Peele with Oscar® winner Daniel Kaluuya (Get Out, Judas and the Black Messiah), who is joined by Keke Palmer (Hustlers, Alice) and Oscar nominee Steven Yeun (Minari, Okja) playing residents of a lonely gulch of inland California who bear witness to an uncanny and chilling discovery.
Nope, which co-stars Michael Wincott (Hitchcock, Westworld) and Brandon Perea (The OA, American Insurrection), is written and directed by Peele and is produced by Ian Cooper (Us, Candyman) and Peele for Monkeypaw Productions. The film will be released by Universal Pictures worldwide.
