Jordan Peele’s New Horror Movie for Universal Will Star Keke Palmer
It’s been a while since we’ve heard a peep about Jordan Peele‘s (Get Out, Us) next movie, which Universal currently has set for release in theaters on July 22, 2022. But the silence is broken today, with Deadline reporting that Keke Palmer (“Scream: The TV Series”) will star!
The movie is untitled at this time, with plot details under wraps.
Collider notes that Palmer is playing the antagonist of the movie, and the site’s reporter Jeff Sneider also indicates that Daniel Kaluuya (Get Out) is currently in talks for a role.
Peele teased in Issue #3 of Fangoria that he was planning a film that’d aim to be scarier than both Get Out and Us, which could very well be this mysterious “horror event” movie.
Peele wrote the film and will direct. He’s also producing for Monkeypaw Productions.
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.
