Despite not knowing much about the upcoming thriller, we do know that it'll be set in the suburbs and revolve around two couples, one black and the other caucasian. Talents, Lupita Nyong'o, Elisabeth Moss and Winston Duke have all been in talks regarding their participation in the film.
Speaking to Slash Film some time back now, Peele confessed that in returning to cinema, he wants to explore themes beyond race.
"One thing I know is that this is genre, and playing around with the thriller, horror, action, fun, genre of intrigue is my favorite (sic). That's my sweet spot. So I think tonally it should resemble 'Get Out'. That said, I want to make a completely different movie. I want to address something different than race in the next one."
Beyond 'Get Out
'Get Out' began as an independent film but very quickly became a huge success and a cultural phenomenon. During this year's award season, 'Get Out' earned so much attention that it ended up earning an Oscar for best adapted screenplay. Since then, Jordan Peele has been more than busy with his upcoming projects including that of HBO series 'Lovecraft Country' or the TBS series 'The Last O.G.'. 'Us' will mark Peele's return to cinema.
