Jordan Peele‘s third horror movie Nope is coming to theaters this summer, and Empire Online shares a brand new shot of Daniel Kaluuya (Get Out) in Peele’s latest today.
Jordan Peele tells Empire, “I wrote NOPE with Daniel in mind for the role – a humble man destined for an epic and otherworldly confrontation.”
“Daniel’s craft is on a different level, but it’s his warmth that grounds audiences even during points of absolute madness. You may be watching a nightmare, but when he’s on screen, at least you’ve got your brother with you, and that’s all you need,” Peele adds.
Both written and directed by Peele, Nope is shrouded in secrecy at this point in time, but we do know it’s coming to theaters from Universal this summer, on July 22, 2022.
In the film, “Residents in a lonely gulch of inland California bear witness to an uncanny and chilling discovery.”
Daniel Kaluuya (Get Out) will be reteaming with Peele on the mysterious movie, with the cast also including Steven Yeun (“The Walking Dead,” Mayhem) and Keke Palmer (“Scream”). Michael Wincott (The Crow), Barbie Ferreira and Brandon Perea also star.
Nope is part of a “five-year exclusive production partnership” Universal Pictures inked with Peele and his Monkeypaw Productions, and it’s been described as a “horror event.” Mind you, anything from Peele at this point is instantly an event, but we can probably expect Nope to be Peele’s biggest movie to date, with an announced IMAX optimization. On that note, the film’s cinematographer is Hoyte van Hoytema, whose previous work includes Let the Right One In, Spectre, and the Christopher Nolan films Interstellar, Dunkirk, and Tenet.
