Jordan Peele's Nope — Episode 99

After signing a five-year development deal with Universal Pictures, Jordan Peele got to work on his next project following the massive success of both “Get Out” and “Us.” Peele’s next film was announced in November 2020 with the writer and director saying he wanted to create something audiences would have “to come see” after penning the script at a time with incredible uncertainty surrounding the future of movie theaters. Notoriously secretive about his projects, Peele didn’t reveal much of anything about his plans for the film other than saying that he was focusing on humanity’s addiction to spectacle while specifically naming films like “Close Encounters of the Third Kind,” “Signs” and “The Wizard of Oz” as influences on his writing. The film also reunited Peele with Oscar winner Daniel Kaluuya, who had received rave reviews for his performance in “Get out” along with a cast that also included Keke Palmer and Steven Yeun. The end result was a film centered around a family of Hollywood horse trainers who try to revive their struggling business by capturing the impossible on camera and then parlaying that into a sizable payday…In the latest episode of Rewind of the Living Dead, we’re going to look up at the sky and make sure the security cameras are working as we review the 2022 horror film “Nope”… Music courtesy of Andrew Scott Bell and Karl Casey @ White Bat Audio For more Rewind of the Living Dead, visit our website or follow on social media:https://www.rewindofthelivingdead.com/Twitter: https://twitter.com/rewindofdeadFacebook: https://www.facebook.com/rewindoflivingdeadInstagram: https://www.instagram.com/rewindoflivingdead/
