“Most UFO stories or things you hear have cows coming up. The idea of ​​the horses – which have a majesty, a beauty and a reference to the Wild West and the Hollywood lie of the Wild West – was so loaded,” explains Jordan Pele (“Nope”) on deconstructing Western tropes in his new film. Watch her red carpet chat with our sister site Variety above.

“Nope” is Peele’s third horror film, following his feature debut “Get Out” (2017) and its critically acclaimed sequel “Us” (2019). It tells the story of the inhabitants of a ravine in California who discover something strange. He brings it together with Daniel Kaluuyawho earned his first Oscar nomination for “Get Out” (he won only three years later for “Judas and the Black Messiah“). It also features the Oscar nominee steven yeun (“minari“) and Emmy winner Keke Palmer.

Peele also won awards for “Get Out,” becoming the first black filmmaker to be nominated for writing, directing and producing at the Oscars the same year. He also has became the first black writer to win Best Original Screenplay. ‘We’ didn’t quite make it to the Oscars, but star Lupita Nyong’o was nominated for Critics Choice and SAG Awards for her performance, which also won her Best Actress at the Gold Derby Film Awards.

Regardless of “No,” however, and regardless of how audiences interpret its themes, Peele doesn’t care much about how the film is enjoyed. “We tried to make a big summer blockbuster that you can enjoy the way you want,” he says, whether that means you “smoke a big joint” and “talk to your friend about some social issues,” or whether you just want to “Relax” and “see Keke Palmer in the middle of a UFO, then that’s what we’ve got for you.” And in terms of potential socially responsible thrillers to come, there’s no shortage of inspiration: “The world gives me a horror to play.”
