Jordan Peele’’s 'Us'

[James.B]

Winston Duke, Lupita Nyong’o and Elisabeth Moss are circling to star in Jordan Peele’s latest movie project, the newly titled Us, for Universal Pictures.

The project is Peele’s first feature since Get Out, the little horror movie that became a pop culture phenomenon and Oscar-winner.

Peele is once again directing from his own script. He is also producing via his Monkeypaw Productions alongside Sean McKittrick and Jason Blum. Also producing is Monkeypaw’s Ian Cooper.

Uni has already dated the movie for March 15, 2019.

Details are being kept deep in suburbia but it is said to center on two couples, one white, one black. If deals make, Duke and Nyong’o would play one couple. Moss would play part of the other couple.

Nyong'o is said to be in negotiations while Duke and Moss's potential deals are in earlier stages.

Happy to see Winston Duke breaking out.

 

[CaptainWagner]

I am SO happy to see Duke breaking out! This is also cool, seeing as how he and Lupita were friends in college.

 

[Lencho01]

i'm not really interested in movies which play on race relations - to move forward, we need to connect and love and... issues these days, no pun intended, shouldn't be as easy as black and white. There are race issues all over the world, of all types, class, religion, orientation.

Black panther felt a positive film in the right direction, even if it was played safe - get positive characters out there for role models, not just to highlight the struggles.

Lupita N'yongo and Elizabeth Moss? Was this movie created in my dreams?

Eh, not that I disagree. But we can't genuinely connect if we don't have a real understanding of the underlying issues. I legit had a white friend come up to me after Get Out and say "I loved that movie so much! Like you can you imagine what that would be like?! Like imagine walking into a room and everything just stops."

On my unborn child, this is a real quote. But he was a sweet guy and he really just didn't know. Now he does.

Though it's not like we don't still need those in this day and age.

Exactly. Films that ignore reality would only make non-minorities disillusioned concerning what it's actually like.

To add to that, I'm a bi dude. One of my friends was honestly surprised homophobia still exists.

Other minorities without a doubt have many examples such as yours.

As said, ignoring the reality of bigotry - I just similarly don't see the positive in that since it'd only add to the disillusion.

I LOVE this SNL skit (non-minorities and minorities took this night very differently) :
