Jordan Peele's New Movie Nope Is Very Different From Get Out & Us
Nope star Keke Palmer teases that the Jordan Peele film is nothing like his previous projects. The film, which premieres in theaters on July 22, 2022, is the third directorial feature from Peele, who originally rose to prominence as the co-star of the sketch comedy series Key & Peele. As a director, he burst onto the scene in 2017 with Get Out, a Blumhouse thriller about a young Black man visiting his white girlfriend's family for which he won an Academy Award for Best Original Screenplay. He followed up that project in 2019 with Us, which was a terrifying story of a family encountering their own doppelgangers starring Oscar winner Lupita Nyong'o.
Nope has had a mysterious ad campaign that teases many elements of the film without quite coming out and saying exactly what it's about. The most popular theory is that it's a combination of a Western and an alien invasion film, however, the only thing that has been revealed about the plot is that it centers on an abnormal event in the desert. This event is witnessed by James (Oscar winner Daniel Kaluuya) and Jill Haywood (Keke Palmer), who run a horse ranch just outside Hollywood. The film's ensemble cast is filled out by Keith David, Donna Mills, Barbie Ferreira, Michael Wincott, and Oscar nominee Steven Yeun.
