Jordan Peele’s Horror Film ‘Get Out’ Lands Its Lead
Daniel Kaluuya (Sicario), pictured above, has been locked down as the lead male in Jordan Peele’s upcoming horror film Get Out, according to Deadline. Kaluuya will star opposite Allison Williams.
While plot details are being kept under wraps, the site provides a brief synopsis, saying the movie is about, “…a young African-American man who visits his white girlfriend’s family estate.”
Peele says that a film like this hasn’t been done in nearly five decades, claiming that the film, “…takes on the task of exploring race in America — something that hasn’t really been done within the genre since Night Of The Living Dead 47 years ago.”
Honestly, I’m very interested to see how this plays out. What made the racial dynamics in Night of the Living Dead so fascinating was how little attention was paid to it by the actual characters of the film itself. The issue of race never was an actual issue, even with all the heated arguments and horrific violence that was going on. Ben being black was never brought up and he wasn’t treated any differently because of the color of his skin. That being said, it’s impossible to deny that there is a commentary, whether intended or not, in the film that is still incredibly relevant to this day.
Just two months after his daughter Ishana Night Shyamalan debuts on the big screen with horror movie The Watchers, M. Night Shyamalan is back with his new thriller Trap.
M. Night Shyamalan’s new thriller for Warner Bros. – the sixteenth movie in his Oscar-nominated career thus far – is headed to movie theaters nationwide on August 9, 2024.
Watch the official trailer below to begin a twisted new mystery-box experience, which features performances by rising music star Saleka Shyamalan as fictional pop star Lady Raven.
In the upcoming thriller starring Josh Hartnett, “A father and teen daughter attend a pop concert, where they realize they’re at the center of a dark and sinister event.”
As the official trailer for Trap reveals, the pop concert is actually an elaborate trap designed to catch The Butcher, a sadistic serial killer who has been evading authorities.
Hartnett had recently described the mysterious film as “very bizarre” and “very dark.”
According to IMDb, the cast for Trap also includes Hayley Mills, Marnie McPhail, Vanessa Smythe, Saleka Shyamalan, Scott Ian MacDougall, Kristi Woods, and Cali Lorella.
Trap is the first film Shyamalan has made under his new deal with Warner Bros., which has been described as a “multi-year first-look directing and producing agreement.”
The film is produced by Ashwin Rajan, Marc Bienstock and M. Night Shyamalan.
The executive producer is Steven Schneider.
