A new poster for directorJordan Peele’s upcoming horror movieNopehas arrived to tell us … absolutely nothing more about theGet Outfilmmaker’s mysterious new project. The latest poster for Nope echos much of what we have seen so far in both the earlier posterand the recent trailer, as a threat from the sky causes bizarre happenings to a small Californian town.
Released via theofficial Monkeypaw Production Twitter account,the newly released poster shows a horse being taken up into the sky by an invisible force, and undoubtedly further confirms the theory thatNopewill center on some sort of alien invasion. Along with the poor, no doubt frightened horse, several items are also being levitated, including the creepy alien-like dolls glimpsed in last month’s trailer.
Much like bothGet OutandUsbefore it, Jordan Peele is keeping as many details surroundingNopeas secret as possible. So far,all we really know about the movieis that it will follow several residents of an isolated town in California, among them ranch owners James and Jill Haywood, who witness a mysterious and abnormal event. As a certainAncient Aliensufologist would say, “ALIENS.”
The trailer also asks, “What’s a bad miracle?” and while we wait to find out exactly what that ominous question really means, it can only have something to do with extra-terrestrials at this point, right?Nopefinds Academy Award-winning director Jordan Peele once again looking to redefine and disrupt modernhorror, much like he did with bothGet OutandUs. This time though, Peele will attempt to re-imagine the summer movie as well with a new pop nightmare: the expansive horror epic,Nope.
The movie reunites Peele with Oscar-winnerDaniel Kaluuya(Get Out, Judas and the Black Messiah), who is joined byKeke Palmer(Hustlers, Alice) and Oscar nomineeSteven Yeun(Minari, Okja) as residents in a lonely gulch of inland California who bear witness to an uncanny and chilling discovery.
Nope, which co-stars Michael Wincott (Hitchcock, Westworld) and Brandon Perea (The OA, American Insurrection), is written and directed by Jordan Peele and is produced by Ian Cooper(Us, Candyman) and Jordan Peele for Monkeypaw Productions.
Like Get Out and Us, Nope Will Contain a Contemporary Social Message
Just like he did withGet OutandUs, Peele will once again use the frame of the horror genre to comment on contemporary social issues. “I have four other social thrillers that I want to unveil in the next decade,” Peele previously said of his future original projects. “The best and scariest monsters in the world are human beings and what we are capable of especially when we get together. I’ve been working on these premises about these different social demons, these innately human monsters that are woven into the fabric of how we think and how we interact, and each one of my movies is going to be about a different one of these social demons.”
Nopeis scheduled to be released on June 28, 2025, by Universal Pictures.
