What To Know
Peele wrote the script with Daniel Kaluuya in mind to play James Haywood. Nope marks the pair’s second collaboration following 2017’s hugely successful Get Out. Also starring in the film are Keke Palmer as Jill Haywood, Steven Yeun as Brian, Michael Wincott as Craig, and Barbie Ferreira as Danielle. After the success of Jordan Peele's Get Out in 2017, Hollywood took note of the director's ability to create powerful genre films. Universal Pictures was particularly interested in Peele's gifts and signed him to a five-year deal, making way for more diversity and black filmmaking in the industry. NOPE was released in theaters on July 22, 2022.
