While Nope releases this week, Jordan Peele teased his next project on the red carpet when talking to Deadline. If you hope he sticks to horror after the success of Get Out, Us, and how ambitious Nope is being billed, then you have nothing to worry about as he is sticking to the genre.
“A little bit of horror, a little bit of comedy; I’m always going to try and give you a big show,” was how Jordan Peele teased his next project. Knowing his style of providing deep social and political commentary with scares and a dash of comedy to alleviate the tension for a moment, it sounds like he will stick to the style that fans have come to know so well.
Not many people have had a career shift in Hollywood like the former Key & Peele cohost and star. Becoming known for comedy and now horror seemed like the kind of shift that could mean any genre could be tapped for his creativity. It turns out that the next project for Jordan Peele is not the only one that will be in the underworld of horror.
“I will stay within this realm that I love which is, I think, the only way I know how to view the world and how to tell stories at this point,” he said.
Jordan Peele teased his next project, and he will stick to horror
Whether it is past films or the mysterious next project, Jordan Peele made a name for himself by telling Black stories through horror with big themes about society. He has touched on unconscious racism from white liberals in Get Out, in Us, he discussed class, and now, in Nope, he will explore people’s obsession with spectacle and its monetization.
While it is ways away, the next project by Jordan Peele can wait as Nope hits theaters this weekend. It sees the filmmaker reteam with Daniel Kaluuya from Get Out. It will also star Keke Palmer, Steven Yeun, and more.
