The Oscar-winning director and comedian Jordan Peele is back with his third horror film, "Nope," after the critical and popular success of "Get Out" and "Us."
The trailer for the new film dropped right before February’s Super Bowl LVI. Now, a two-minute featurette, titled ‘Nope: It Takes a Village,” took us behind the scenes of the alien invasion drama and included conversations with the film’s diverse cast and crew.
According to IndieWire, the film "follows a family of Black horse trainers, whose dusty ranch is suddenly set upon by a group of terrifying invaders from the sky. The trailer appears to offer looks at both the invaders in question and perhaps what happens to those they attack."
The ensemble cast includes "Minary" actor Steven Yeun, Keke Palmer and Daniel Kaluuya. This is the second time Peele is collaborating with Oscar-nominated "Get Out" lead Kaluuya.
Kaluuya praised Peele in the featurette, “He's not trying to rush it, he's trying to get the moments. There's a value in what you're shooting. I mean like the whole crew engaged with it differently."
Euphoria” actor Barbie Ferreira, “The OA” actor Brandon Perea, and Michael Wincott are also playing key supporting roles.
The film was shot by "Tenet," “Interstellar” and “Dunkirk" cinematographer Hoyte van Hoytema, who will be reuniting with director Christopher Nolan for his upcoming feature “Oppenheimer."
Produced by Universal Pictures, "Nope" will hit the theatres on July 22, 2022.
