Horror fans are getting a special gift this morning: Universal Pictures has premiered the trailer to Jordan Peele’s eagerly awaited US. Check it out, along with some words from Peele, after the jump.
There was much excitement when GET OUT auteur Jordan Peele revealed his involvement in a follow-up to the 1992 Clive Barker-based classic CANDYMAN, and now it’s moving forward with a director attached and debut date set.
RUE MORGUE is thrilled that a veteran of the genre and a newcomer to horror brought home the gold for fear and the fantastique at the 90th Academy Awards last night.
At the end of his audio commentary on Universal’s Blu-ray release of GET OUT (streeting May 23), writer/director Jordan Peele says he had the choice of leaving his movie’s meanings for the audience to discover, or “nerding out” and going into exhaustive detail on his talk track. Fortunately for fans of that form, he chose the latter, and yet all his explications don’t dilute the power of the film itself.
For most of the 2000s, Jordan Peele has been making us laugh as an actor, and now he’s about to make everyone scream as a filmmaker. GET OUT, his feature writing/directing debut, bids to be a major horror hit when it opens tomorrow night, and RUE MORGUE got some exclusive words from Peele about it.
