Get Out director Jordan Peele reveals title of next film as Us; thriller will star Lupita Nyong’o, Elisabeth Moss

Oscar-winning filmmaker Jordan Peele has revealed the title of his next film with a poster on social media. Titled Us, the movie has been in development for Universal along with Blumhouse ever since Peele’s directorial debut Get Out made a whopping $200 million on a budget of $4.5 million, and bagged an Oscar for Best Original Screenplay. The film is expected to star the likes of Oscar-winning actress Lupita Nyong’o, Black Panther actor Winston Duke and The Handmaid’s Tale star Elisabeth Moss as reported by Vulture .

The movie, described as a ‘nightmare from the mind of Jordan Peele’ is expected to maintain the tone and genre-blending ideas of Get Out. “One thing I know is that this is genre; and playing around with the thriller, horror, action, fun genre of intrigue is my favourite. That’s my sweet spot. So I think tonally it should resemble Get Out. That said, I want to make a completely different movie. I want to address something different than race in the next one,” said Peele as reported by The Hollywood Reporter . Universal Pictures also announced that Peele’s next feature is an “original and provocative thriller,” and release on 15 March 2019, reported EW . Nyong’o is currently in Cannes with Jessica Chastain and director Simon Kinberg for a proposed all-female spy thriller , and Elisabeth Moss, whose show The Handmaid’s Tale has been renewed for another season has bagged the role of Rosemary Kennedy in Ritesh Batra’s next directorial venture A Letter From Rosemary Kennedy.
