‘Nope’ Trailer: Jordan Peele Made an Alien Invasion Horror Movie!
Oscar winner Jordan Peele disrupted and redefined modern horror with Get Out and then Us. Now, he reimagines the summer movie with a new pop nightmare: the expansive horror epic, Nope.
The film reunites Peele with Oscar winner Daniel Kaluuya (Get Out), who is joined by Keke Palmer (Hustlers, Alice) and Oscar nominee Steven Yeun (Okja, “The Walking Dead”, Mayhem) as residents in a lonely gulch of inland California who bear witness to an uncanny and chilling discovery.
The first poster teased us with a single image of a cloud hovering over a small town, which many of us believe signaled the arrival of extraterrestrials. Sure enough, the full trailer is here and it’s a full-blown alien invasion horror film!
Being somewhat of a UFO connoisseur (remember when conspiracies used to be safe and fun?), Peele’s Nope appears to lift its inspiration from Dulce, New Mexico, which many believe houses a full-blown secret underground alien base in alliance with our own government.
The trailer itself is pretty revealing, showing off the UFOs, not to mention a young girl burned by one of the ships, stuffed animals in the likeness of the extraterrestrials, and even what looks to be a human-alien hybrid (again, go read about Dulce). I posted some screencaps below the trailer…

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.
