I wasn't entirely sure what to expect from Jordan Peele's directorial debut, but not once did I imagine that GET OUT would become one of the most talked about films of 2017, not to mention one of the most successful as it made over $250 million on a $4.5 million budget. Shame on me. GET OUT fans are still busy analyzing Jordan Peele's highly effective thriller and the director took part in a Vanity Fair video in which he responds to various fan theories. Does GET OUT take place in the same universe as BEING JOHN MALKOVICH? Why does Rose (Allison Williams) eat her Fruit Loops and milk separate? Is the entire film merely the figment of TSA officer Rod Williams (Lil Rel Howery) overactive imagination? Find out what Jordan Peele has to say about these theories and more in the video below!
Jordan Peele has become very much in demand thanks to the enormous success of GET OUT, and has taken on a large variety of projects this year. In addition to another thriller, which he says will be "very different" from GET OUT, Peele is also developing Lovecraft Country, a one-hour drama which has already been given a straight-to-series order by HBO. Based upon Matt Ruff's novel of the same name, Lovecraft Country follows twenty-five year old Atticus Black as he embarks on a road trip across 1950's Jim Crow America to find his father after he goes missing. Peele will also be teaming up with Spike Lee for BLACK KLANSMAN, a dramatic crime thriller based on the true story of Ron Stallworth, an African-American police officer who infiltrated the KKK in the late 1970's and was able to rise through the ranks and collect all sorts of intelligence about their activities. Throw in a revival of The Twilight Zone for CBS and a potential 1970's-set drama series chronicling the pursuit and capture of Nazis who escaped justice followed World War II, and you've got one busy dude.
