Jordan Peele: Last News

Dev Patel‘s feature directorial debut “Monkey Man” hits theaters today, and if he and producer Jordan Peele have their way, it won’t be the last time they work together. In a new interview with EW, Peele said he’d love to work with Patel as an actor someday.

Monkey Man has hit cinema screens this week, and its soundtrack has proven popular with viewers.Produced by Get Out and Nope’s Jordan Peele, the action thriller stars Patel in the lead role, exploring a man seeking to avenge a loved one, and detailing the topics of discrimination and corruption in Indian society.Also starring in the film are Sharlto Copley, Sobhita Dhulipala and Pitobash. So far it has received generally positive reviews, with 87% on review aggregator Rotten Tomatoes, and Peter Bradshaw for The Guardian awarding it four stars out of five, describing Patel’s work as “a very exciting and stylish movie.”However, for some viewers it was the film’s soundtrack which had the most impact.

In case you missed the buzz out of SXSW, director/star Devl Patel (“The Green Knight”) and producer Jordan Peele (“Nope”) have joined forces for an original Mumbai-set action film, “Monkey Man” that will be released by Universal Pictures early next month. Following excellent reviews out of Austin (read ours here), Universal has unleashed a new trailer.

As his childhood trauma boils over, his mysteriously scarred hands unleash an explosive campaign of retribution to settle the score with the men who took everything from him.”Check out the film’s trailer, which is soundtracked by ‘Beware Of The Boys (Mundian To Bach)’ by Panjabi and Jay-Z, here: Recently, Peele opened up about his next horror film, saying it could be his “favourite” of all his works so far.The director of Get Out, Us and Nope has a new film currently in development and he’s spoke about it in a new interview on the Conan O’Brien Needs A Friend podcast.The director had planned to start production on his fourth film last year, and it was initially slated to be released on Christmas Day 2024.

One small ember can burn down everything. Wondering what Oscar-nominated actor Dev Patel’s (“Lion,” “Slumdog Millionaire”) new action thriller, his directorial debut, “Monkey Man” is all about? Well, we finally have our answers.

Jordan Peele has opened up about his next horror film, saying it could be his “favourite” of all his works so far.The director of Get Out, Us and Nope has a new film currently in development and he’s spoke about it in a new interview on the Conan O’Brien Needs A Friend podcast.The director had planned to start production on his fourth film last year, and it was initially slated to be released on Christmas Day 2024. However, work was delayed by the summer of long Hollywood strikes and no new release date has yet been set.At present, there are no details about Peele’s new film, including its title, plot or cast.

Despite being his most polarizing film to date, Jordan Peele’s “Nope” still a very respectable 83% on Rotten Tomatoes and more than $171 million at the worldwide box office. Sure, that latter number is almost roughly $100 million less than the grosses of “Get Out” and “Us,” but given the current theatrical climate, it’s a big win.

Sometimes, you get Christmas candy, and sometimes, you get Christmas coal. And a little lump of coal has arrived at all our doorsteps today, but then again, it’s not entirely unexpected (I predicted it here).

If you’re not a fan of video games, it’s quite likely the name Hideo Kojima doesn’t mean a whole lot to you. However, suffice it to say, he’s one of the most talented and acclaimed video game creators to ever live.

Well, here we are again. With 2023 finally coming to a close, it’s time to look to next year and the Most Anticipated Films Of 2024 (Strike Affected Edition).

James Cameron‘s Avatar 3 and Sonic The Hedgehog 3, which will both be released on December 20, 2024.Along with the announcement of Peele’s new film, Universal also scheduled an untitled Monkeypaw film (which is Peele’s production company) to release on September 27, 2024.At present, there are no details about Peele’s new film, including its title, plot or cast. The director was similarly tight-lipped prior the release of his past three films, Get Out, Us, and Nope.However, in August 2022, Peele did tease his plans for a Nope sequel, hinting it could focus on Nobody, a character from the trailer who was omitted from the final cut of the film.“The story of that character has yet to be told, I can tell you that.

After three massively successful films, we can safely pronounce that new Jordan Peele film releases are special events. However, unlike many directors working today, Peele is steadily releasing new films like clockwork, after only two or three years.

One of the most difficult films to get made over the past few decades has been a live-action version of the groundbreaking Japanese manga, “Akira.” Over the years, plenty of actors and directors have been signed on and eventually departed the project. One of the most recent big pushes to get it made was with Jordan Peele as the filmmaker, but that obviously didn’t come to fruition.

One of the biggest box office hits and critically-acclaimed films of the year, Jordan Peele’s mysterious UFO horror thriller “Nope” is finally coming to home video.  While the Digital Collector’s Edition of “Nope” was released in September, the 4K Ultra HD, Blu-ray, and DVD arrives on October 25, 2022, from Universal Pictures Home Entertainment.

“I’m going to keep trying to come up with original stories and meet the expectations the audience has for me,” Jordan Peele said on a recent edition of Variety’s podcast. “I hope to continue to lift original filmmakers up.”And he’s been true to his word.

It must be tough to work with Jordan Peele – not because he seems a particularly difficult collaborator (quite the opposite, frankly), but because lazy and/or SEO-hunting websites tend to ascribe his ownership to just about anything he touches. We saw it with last year’s “Candyman” (which he co-wrote and produced but did not direct), with Spike Lee’s “BlackKklansman” (producer), with the recent “Honk For Jesus.

Henry Selick, the wildly original mastermind behind such extraordinarily conceived feature film animations as “The Nightmare Before Christmas” and “James And The Giant Peach,” marks his first feature film since 2009s unsettling creeper, “Coraline,” in “Wendell & Wild.” Debuting on Netflix later this year, the stop-motion animation, billed as a dark fantasy comedy horror, “Wendell & Wild” is based on a screenplay penned by Selick and Jordan Peele, who also produces and stars in a voice role alongside long time collaborator Keegan-Michael Key.

. Academy Award-winning director Jordan Peele told  he's noticed rabid fans of his sci-fi thriller have paid attention that a character was cut from the film, but his story may be told in the future.More specifically, it was brought to Peele's attention that speculation is rampant on Reddit with fans figuring out a character named Nobody — and credited to actor Michael Busch on IMDb — never actually appeared in the movie. Peele seemed impressed that eagle-eyed fans figured that out before he teased a sequel. «People are doing a lot of interesting detective work,» he told.

After near-universal acclaim for “Get Out,” his directorial debut, Jordan Peele has begun to divide audiences with his newest films, “Us” and “Nope.” The latter of which, released earlier this summer, has been his most controversial yet, with people either saying it’s genius or trying to convince people it’s utter garbage. That debate is neither here nor there.

Nope sequel.Following the release of the director’s new sci-fi horror – starring Daniel Kaluuya and Keke Palmer – fans were quick to note the omission of an IMDB-listed character named “Nobody”, played by Michael Busch.Despite also featuring in the trailer, “Nobody” doesn’t appear in the final cut of the film. However, Peele has now hinted that the character is likely to be involved in an eventual follow-up.“People are doing a lot of interesting detective work,” Peele told The New York Times about the eagle-eyed fans who questioned the character’s whereabouts.He continued: “The story of that character has yet to be told, I can tell you that.
