Nope and I’m hungry to see where the hell he wants to take audiences next,” journalist Simon Thompson said.Critic Shannon McGrew called it “otherworldly yet indescribable” and “an experience that won’t be easy to shake off as you find yourself picking your jaw up from the floor.”And more than we’ll count here are telling people to check their expectations at the door and not go in expecting something tonally similar to Peele’s previous films “Get Out” and “Us.”And of course, genius Troll Ben Mekler did one of his usual attempts to trick websites with an obviously fake reaction, and in the process provided the logline for a movie I would absolutely watch:Hearing from friends who just walked out of the premiere that NOPE is actually an acronym for “Nude Oliver Platt Eating” Already hearing awards buzz for Platt and Palmer…See those reactions and below:The most important thing you need to know about NOPE is it’s crazy different from Get Out & Us. This is Jordan Peele spreading his wings and making big budget Spielberg/esque sci-fi, but with the subtext you’d expect.
Enter with an open mind and you’ll be rewarded. #NopeMovieI can talk about #NopeMovie ? It not only exceeds what it means to be an original “scifi” spectacle but does so whilst being funny, smart, & disturbing in the most unique way.

Jazz Tangcay Artisans EditorWhen director Jordan Peele was in discussions about his box office hit “Nope,” he knew one thing: He wanted the film to be a vast spectacle. His first step was calling on cinematographer Hoyte van Hoytema to work with him on what he calls “my most ambitious film to date.
Zack Sharf SPOILER ALERT: Do not read unless you have seen “Nope,” in theaters now. A November 2014 social media post from Jordan Peele has resurfaced following the release of his third directorial effort, “Nope,” due to the filmmaker revealing he had a disturbing dream about a chimp attack.“Dreamt that a baby chimp attacked some people then ran to me and hugged me all scared,” Peele wrote on Twitter nearly eight years ago. “I woke up with tears streaming down my face.”A chimp attack factors prominently into “Nope,” although it’s a side story that only thematically connects to the main narrative about two siblings (Keke Palmer and Daniel Kaluuya) on a mission to record a UFO above their horse farm.
Donna Mills was used to keeping tight-lipped about many a juicy plot twist.But the TV legend had to cope with a whole new level of top-secret security clearance when she signed on to appear in director Jordan Peele’s latest creepy hit “Nope,” which just opened atop the box office this weekend.“I’d signed an NDA, and I couldn’t tell anybody [about it],” Mills, 81, told The Post about her as role as Bonnie Clayton in a key early scene of the sci-fi thriller. “I mean, I literally couldn’t tell my daughter.
Rebecca Rubin Film and Media ReporterJordan Peele, of all filmmakers, shouldn’t be surprised that the conversation around “Nope’s” box office performance has stirred up several hot takes.The director’s cerebral science-fiction thriller took in $44 million in its box office debut, easily leading domestic charts and impressively landing one of the biggest opening weekends in years for a film that’s not based on existing IP.And yet, there’s still debate about the film’s first weekend in theaters, with suggestions that initial numbers for “Nope” were “disappointing” or “lackluster.” Like any good Peele movie, there’s plenty to unpack about opening weekend revenues for “Nope.” And in fairness, the movie — starring Daniel Kaluuya and Keke Palmer as siblings who discover something spooky around their family’s ranch — had a lot to live up to at the box office. “The bar has been raised so high,” says Paul Dergarabedian, a senior ComScore analyst.Peele can thank his last film, 2019’s doppelgänger horror story “Us,” for those sky-high expectations.
Jordan Peele ’s UFO thriller “Nope” topped the North American charts in its first weekend in theaters with an estimated $44 million in ticket sales, Universal Pictures said Sunday. Though it doesn’t come close to the $71 million debut of “Us,” it is still significantly impressive for an original, R-rated film — and the biggest of the pandemic for an original screenplay.

two weeks in the box office lead, “Thor” was overshadowed Friday by the newest sci-fi horror film by Jordan Peele — who doesn’t want to be called one of the greatest fright filmmakers of our time.On its Friday release alone, “Nope” raked in over $19.5 million, according to IMDB’s Box Office Mojo.Thor, meanwhile, took in close to $6.4 million, bringing the Marvel/Disney flick to $144.2 million domestically.

Jazz Tangcay Artisans EditorJordan Peele wanted a vast spectacle with his latest release, “Nope.”The UFO drama/thriller stars Daniel Kaluuya as a horse wrangler, who along with his sister Keke Palmer, start encountering UFO sightings. Along with Brandon Perra as Angel, the trio attempt to capture the sighting on film.Peele called on Christopher Nolan’s preferred DP Hoyte Van Hoytema to shoot his spectacle. It was the Peele’s first outing shooting on film and using large format 65mm IMAX cameras.
“Nope,” has finally arrived.The film follows Peele’s first two horror films as a writer/director, 2017’s “Get Out” and 2019’s “Us.” Known for his comedy and leading role in “Key and Peele,” Peele has quickly become a draw for fans as a filmmaker and “Nope,” unlike Peele’s first two films, leans heavily into the sci-fi genre with a blockbuster-sized budget. Peele reteamed with Daniel Kaluuya on the film, which finds a brother and sister duo trying to catch UFOs on camera.With “Nope” being one of the most highly anticipated films of the year, many are no doubt wondering where and how to watch it.
Zack Sharf “Nope” is widely being called the most ambitious directorial effort of Jordan Peele’s career so far, so it’s no surprise to hear the first rough cut of the project clocked in at nearly four hours. Peele shot a ton of material for the movie, and he even embraced his inner David Fincher by shooting around 20 different takes of Keke Palmer’s introductory monologue.“My editor is Nick Monsour, he’s the guy I worked with in ‘Us,'” Peele recently told Collider.
Jordan Peele‘s newest movie, Nope, is aptly titled, as a mysterious flying object over ominous clouds in the film’s first act makes it clear this is not your average alien horror flick.
Jordan Peele‘s much-anticipated third film, “NOPE,” hits theaters this weekend, and Universal Pictures has done a great job keeping the movie’s secrets under wraps. Plot details for the film remain scarce even days before its release.
Jordan Peele is known for bringing nightmares to the silver screen, but dreams a little bigger and moviegoers will have the chance to actually step into the world of his latest horror entry.The Oscar-winning director and ’s cast chatted with ET’s Rachel Smith at Universal Studios Hollywood, where the set of Jupiter’s Claim, a pivotal location in the movie, is becoming part of the iconic attraction.“This is a piece of the set that is a sort of mom-and-pop theme park owned by a former child star in the film, so it's very meta,” Peele explains. “It's on the Universal backlot tour and it's the first time anything like this has happened, where the actual set is showcased as the movie is coming out.”He adds, “I am very proud.”As Peele noted, until Jupiter’s Claim, the debut of a attraction has never before opened day and date with the corresponding project's release date.
Jordan Peele is a humble guy.
Jordan Peele has carved out an impressive niche for himself in horror films, thanks to the success of Get Out and Us, with momentum building for a similar surge on his new film, Nope.
Angelique Jackson When Keke Palmer got a call from Jordan Peele asking her to star in his latest film, “Nope,” she was quick to jump at the chance to join the Oscar-winning filmmaker’s mysterious project. After all, she’d already DM’d him on Instagram about a year earlier hoping to work together.Upon reading the script — which centers on Emerald Haywood (Palmer) and her brother OJ (Daniel Kaluuya), children of a Hollywood horse trainer who begin to witness mysterious events at their inland California farm — Palmer was struck by the trajectory of her character.“She’s of so many archetypes, from the jester to the orphan — she’s so skillfully created,” Palmer told Variety on the carpet at the world premiere of “Nope” on Monday night.
the 2017 horror hit nobody saw coming, which thrust Peele and star Daniel Kaluuya into the stratosphere and netted a Best Picture Oscar nomination. But pass-the-popcorn “Nope,” which reunites the pair, is entertaining, smart, artful summer fare with its heart planted firmly in the 1980s heyday of blockbuster films. Just when you think, “They don’t make ’em like this anymore,” Kaluuya rides in on a horse.I’ll be careful not to reveal more secrets than I have to, but it’s OK to say that Kaluuya’s character OJ and his extrovert sister Emerald (Keke Palmer) are California animal trainers for film sets. Their family-owned ranch is called Haywood’s Hollywood Horses, and lately, business has been in a slump since their more experienced dad died mysteriously — he fell off his steed, and a quarter was found lodged in his brain.Soon after the tragedy, the horses begin having mysterious temper tantrums and regularly run off into the mountains.
