Jordan Peele Finally Reveals What New Movie Nope Is About

screenrant.com:

Jordan Peele finally reveals more details as to what his new movie Nope is about. Nope is the third feature film from the director, marking another entry into his horror-film-turned-social commentary filmography. Nope brings back Get Out star Daniel Kaluuya in one of the lead roles of OJ Haywood, alongside Keke Palmer, who plays OJ’s sister Emerald. Nope also features performances from Brandon Perea, Michael Wincott, Steven Yeun, and Barbie Ferreira.

During the months leading up to the release of Nope, the film’s details have been kept largely under wraps. For a while, the eerie but cryptic initial trailers did not even reveal what the supernatural terror in the sky was. The Nope marketing campaign consisted of a series of ominous trailers and posters, including creepy motion capture posters back in June. Since then, it was made clear that Nope does indeed center around UFO activity. Over time, bits and pieces of the movie’s plot and character details have been laid out, including a tease of Kaluuya’s Nope character and a trailer that seemed to specify more details about the film’s plot.

Now, Peele finally gives further details as to Nope’s themes and story details, according to Empire (via Slash Film).

Peele revealed that he intended to make a “spectacle” with Nope that would “put an audience in the immersive experience of being in the presence of a UFO.” He leaned into that spectacle, and what was driving it. From a thematic standpoint, Peele highlights the central relationship between OJ and Emerald
