BREAKING: The first trailer for Jordan Peele's Us follow-up Nope has debuted. The horror movie stars Keke Palmer, Daniel Kaluuya, and Steven Yeun.
The first trailer for Jordan Peele's Us follow-up Nope has arrived ahead of its debut at the Super Bowl. Peele, who was previously known for his work on the sketch comedy series Key & Peele, is now one of the most critically acclaimed horror directors working today. After releasing his debut directorial feature Get Out, the writer-director scored the Oscar for Best Original Screenplay for his meditation on racism and neo-liberalism.
Nope will star The Walking Dead alum Steven Yeun, Hustlers actress Keke Palmer, and Daniel Kaluuya, the latter of whom starred in Get Out and earned a Best Actor nomination for his performance. The first footage of Nope debuted in a video previewing the trailer of the movie. The trio of actors shown in the video looked terrified, but the teaser was an exercise in restraint as no details were revealed about the plot of Nope, which is set to release this July.
While the Nope trailer seems to hint that aliens could be involved, Peele is known for his twisty plots so there is no telling what the actual movie has in store for audiences. Like the tethered in Us, there is sure to be more than meets the eye in the actual movie.
