Jordan Peele has worn many hats throughout his career - but the famed comedian shot to mainstream stardom last year when his small film, Get Out, made a massive splash after a surprise premiere at the Sundance Film Festival in Park City.
A year later the young filmmaker had won an Oscar, quit acting, and committed himself to great storytelling.So, it should come as no surprise that when Peele unexpectedly posted the below poster of his forthcoming Us on his Instagram page this morning, word quickly spread as hype and buzz hit an alarming decibel.
Though hardly anything is known about the film, we do know that the plot centers around a family who finds themselves hosting unwelcome visitors at their beach house.The rest is still a secret, though it’s Hollywood, so its only a matter of time before details begin to emerge.
Elizabeth Mold, Anna Diop and Lupita Nyong’o star.Us is expected to hit theaters on March 15 though there is already speculation of another surprise Sundance premiere - or will fans have to wait until SXSW?
About Stephen Davis
I owe this hobby/career to the one and only Stephanie Peterman who, while interning at Fox, told me that I had too many opinions and irrelevant information to keep it all bottled up inside. I survived my first rated R film, Alive, at the ripe age of 8, it took me months to grasp the fact that Julia Roberts actually died at the end of Steel Magnolias, and I might be the only person alive who actually enjoyed Sorority Row…for its comedic value of course. While my friends can drink you under the table, I can outwatch you when it comes iconic, yet horrid 80s films like Adventures in Babysitting and Troop Beverly Hills. I have no shame when it comes to what I like, and if you have a problem with that, then we’ll settle it on the racquetball court. I see too many movies to actually win any film trivia contest, so don’t waste your first pick on me. My friends rent movies from my bookcase shelves, and one day I do plan to start charging. I long to live in LA, where my movie obsession will actually help me fit in, but for now I am content with my home in Austin. I prefer indies to blockbusters, Longhorns to Sooners and Halloween to Friday the 13th. I miss the classics, as well as John Ritter, and I hope to one day sit down and interview the amazing Kate Winslet.
