Get Out and Us writer/director Jordan Peele’s upcoming “horror epic” Nope is set to reach theatres on July 22nd, and with a little less than a month to go before the film hits the big screen a new featurette has been released to give a glimpse behind the scenes. (And yes, this is a different featurette than the other behind-the-scenes video we saw.) Check it out in the embed above!
If you haven’t been watching the videos that have been released to promote Nope, you should turn away before you see any SPOILERS. If you have been keeping up with the marketing of this movie, you know that it has been revealed and confirmed that Nope deals with some kind of alien invasion, as a trailer and TV spot have shown off a shot of a UFO. Speaking with Fandago, Peele said,
I wrote it in a time when we were a little bit worried about the future of cinema. I wanted to create a spectacle, something that the audience would have to come see, and so I set my sights on the great American UFO story here. It’s a horror epic but it has some points in it that are meant to elicit a very audible reaction in the theater. So hopefully when we go see it, we’re going to hear a lot of ‘NOPE,’ walking out, walking back in. That’s what I’m looking for.”
Nope is said to center on
residents in a lonely gulch of inland California who bear witness to an uncanny and chilling discovery.
Those residents are played by Daniel Kaluuya, Keke Palmer (Alice), and Steven Yeun (The Walking Dead). Also in the cast are Keith David (The Thing), Michael Wincott (The Crow), Brandon Perea (The OA), and Barbie Ferreira (Euphoria).
