Jordan Peele has only directed three movies: Get Out, Us, and Nope, and already each new release is seen as a major event. Faster than just about any filmmaker in recent memory, Peele has carved out a niche for himself as the go-to guy for socially conscious horror movies. And while his next film which was initially set for the holidays 2024 was pulled off the schedule due to strike-related delays, Peele is still excited for fans to see what he has in store for them.
Peele spoke briefly about the mysterious project while appearing on the Conan O’Brien Needs a Friend podcast…
“This has been… obviously, it’s been an interesting year because the writer’s strike had had me in a state of listening, and that’s where I need to be. I do feel like my next project is clear to me, and I’m psyched that I have another film that, you know, could be my favorite movie if I make it right.”
Details on the film have remained a secret. We don’t know any plot info, and casting is still under wraps. Some rumors have surfaced that it could be connected to Peele’s most recent film, Nope, but that hasn’t been confirmed. That film opened in 2022 and earned $171M worldwide during a time when theaters were struggling to draw audiences.
One thing is for certain and it’s that we won’t know anything until the moment Peele wants us to. Peele has another horror film he’s producing through his Monkeypaw Productions banner which was yanked from its September 2024 date and is currently undated by Universal Pictures.
