The winner of an Oscar for ‘Let me out’ returns to the fray with another horror film full of mystery that will be released in 2022. We tell you all the details!
Are you ready for a new horror adventure courtesy of jordan peele? The filmmaker, winner of an Oscar for his successful ‘Let Me Out’, returns to the feature film with ‘nope!‘, a mysterious production that will star Daniel Kaluya. After being busy producing shows like ‘Lovecraft Country’ and ‘The Twilight Zone’, as well as the upcoming ‘Candyman’, Peele is embarking on his third feature that will seek to exceed expectations after the glowing reception of his predecessors. That is everything we know at the moment about the film, its synopsis, its release date, its cast and other details. We will update as soon as we have more information!
‘NOP!’, release date: When will we see the movie?
At the moment we do not know too many details about the production, but, thanks to a post by Jordan Peele on Twitter on July 22, we know three important elements: the official title, the first poster and the release date.
‘Nope’ is the official title of Jordan Peele’s third feature film, which in this first poster also reveals its release date: July 22, 2022. That is, just one year after this announcement. As we can see, the filmmaker did not accompany the publication of any text, only a cloud emoticon (like the one we see in this first official image). That makes us think that this element can be important for the story. But we will have to wait to find out more.
‘NOP!’, cast: Who will be in the film?
The starring cast of Jordan Peele’s new movie has also been revealed. The filmmaker meets Daniel Kaluya four years after ‘Let me out’, the film that launched them both to fame. Kaluuya, who won the Oscar for Best Supporting Actor for ‘Judas and the Black Messiah’ at the last edition of the Oscars, will be the main protagonist of the film.
He joins Keke Palmerwhom we last saw on the big screen in ‘Wall Street Swindlers’ alongside Jennifer Lopez in 2019. His signing in this new job by Peele had already been known since February, and even there are rumors that she could play the antagonist of the story (via Collider). Palmer previously collaborated with Peele with a guest appearance on an episode of ‘Key & Peele’ in 2013.
He has also joined the cast Steven Yeun, nominated for in the last edition of the Oscars for ‘Minari. Family history’. Again, his role in the film is unknown, but we already know that has experience in terror thanks to years against the zombies in ‘The Walking Dead’. barbie ferrera (‘Euphoria’), Brandon Perea (‘The OA’) and Michael Wincott (’24’) have also been confirmed.
As for the technical team, Hoyte van Hoytema has been confirmed as the film’s cinematographer, which is great news given the quality of the regular collaborator’s previous work. Christopher Nolan that counts in his filmography with jewels in his field such as ‘Let me in‘ (Thomas Alfredson, 2008), ‘fighter‘ (David O. Russell, 2010), ‘Her‘ (Spike Jonze, 2013), ‘interstellar‘ (Christopher Nolan, 2014), ‘Dunkirk‘ (Christopher Nolan, 2017) and ‘Ad Astra‘ (James Grey, 2019).
‘NOP!’, synopsis: What will the film be about?
As we have already advanced, little is known about the official synopsis of ‘Nope’, the new work by Jordan Peele. We only have an official poster from which little can be deduced. What we see: a cloud that announces a storm and from which colored pennants come out, as if it had swallowed a town festival. Is this about aliens? What are those lights that fly over the illuminated town at the bottom of the poster? Can you see a face between the clouds? All these questions are still unanswered, but what we can do is look at Peele’s past.
‘Let me out‘ followed an African-American man (Kaluuya) on his first trip to meet the parents of his white girlfriend, Rose (Allison Williams), but soon discovers what is hidden behind that wealthy white neighborhood (very white) in the suburbs. The film is a critique of racism and how black voices are silenced in the United States. This theme was repeated in ‘Us‘, released in 2019, which took the symbolism of his criticism to a new dimension. In the film we see how a family (led by Lupita Nyong’o) is invaded by strangers who turn out to be clones of themselves. Again, Peele looked squarely at the hypocrisy of his country and the fear of the stranger, whether inside or outside its borders.
Just looking at his background as a director and screenwriter we can’t be sure what ‘Nope’ will be about, but we have no doubt that there will be a perfect balance between social criticism and suspense. And, of course, with touches of humor. That’s what we expect from the Peele style, but it may surprise us. We will keep you informed as soon as we know!
