What is Nope about?
Reuniting writer and director Jordan Peele with Get Out‘s Daniel Kaluuya, Nope revolves around a series of residents in a lonely gulch of inland California who bear witness to an uncanny and chilling discovery: random, potentially deadly objects are falling from the sky. When their father is killed by one of these objects, ranch-owning siblings OJ (Kaluuya) and Emerald Haywood (Keke Palmer) attempt to capture video evidence of the phenomenon, with the help of a tech salesman (Brandon Perea) and a documentarian (Michael Wincott).
The movie is produced by Ian Cooper (Us, Candyman) and Jordan Peele, and will be released by Universal Pictures worldwide throughout July and August 2022.
