Jordan Peele Seriously Considering ‘Get Out’ Sequel
After busting up the box office and landing Oscar nominations for “Original Screenplay”, “Lead Actor”, “Best Director”, and “Best Film”, how could they not make a sequel to Get Out? Well, writer-director Jordan Peele is most definitely considering it.
“I will definitely, seriously consider it,” he told THR at Nominee’s Night. “I love that universe and feel like there’s more story to tell. I don’t know what it is now, but there are some loose ends.”
It would be interesting to see how Peele tackles a sequel with the viewer already knowing the big secret. How do you build new suspense around that? I guess he’d have to further the commentary on a national or global scale? No matter, we’re all-in on anything Peele does.
Daniel Kaluuya stars in Get Out as a young African-American who heads off to meet with his white girlfriend’s parents for a weekend in their secluded estate in the woods, but before long, the friendly and polite ambiance will give way to a nightmare. The Blumhouse production released by Universal Pictures topped $250M worldwide.
Filming is underway on The Invisible Man director Leigh Whannell’s Wolf Man for Universal and Blumhouse, which will be howling its way into theaters on January 17, 2025.
Deadline reports that Matilda Firth (Disenchanted) is the latest actor to sign on, joining Christopher Abbott (Poor Things), Julia Garner (The Royal Hotel), and Sam Jaeger.
The project will mark Whannell’s second monster movie and fourth directing collaboration with Blumhouse Productions (The Invisible Man, Upgrade, Insidious: Chapter 3).
Wolf Man stars Christopher Abbott as a man whose family is being terrorized by a lethal predator.
Writers include Whannell & Corbett Tuck as well as Lauren Schuker Blum & Rebecca Angelo.
Jason Blum is producing the film. Ryan Gosling, Ken Kao, Bea Sequeira, Mel Turner and Whannell are executive producers. Wolf Man is a Blumhouse and Motel Movies production.
In the wake of the failed Dark Universe, Leigh Whannell’s The Invisible Man has been the only real success story for the Universal Monsters brand, which has been struggling with recent box office flops including the comedic Renfield and period horror movie The Last Voyage of the Demeter. Giving him the keys to the castle once more seems like a wise idea, to say the least.
