Jordan Peele‘s third horror movie Nope has scared up $170 million at the worldwide box office thus far and will release on 4K & Blu-ray 10/25. If you need even more ways to watch, there’s good news: Nope will also debut on Peacock next month.

Nope will begin streaming exclusively on Peacock starting November 18, 2022.

Its debut on the streaming service comes with a slew of bonus features that includes a new documentary, featuring interviews from cast and crew, and in-depth behind-the-scenes footage.

In Nope, “Residents in a lonely gulch of inland California who bear witness to an uncanny and chilling discovery.”

Daniel Kaluuya (Get Out) reteams with Peele on the mysterious movie, with the cast also including Steven Yeun (“The Walking Dead,” Mayhem) and Keke Palmer (“Scream”). Michael Wincott (The Crow), Barbie Ferreira and Brandon Perea,  Terry Notary (The Square), Devon Graye (I Don’t Feel at Home in this World Anymore), and Osgood Perkins (director Gretel & Hansel) also star.

Peele’s latest has a lot to unpack upon rewatches, including Terry Notary’s unsettling portrayal of Gordy the chimpanzee. I wrote in my review that “Jordan Peele takes on the summer blockbuster with soaring spectacle and scathing subtext. Peele’s latest retools the summer blockbuster, nestling a fascinating indictment beneath accessible crowd-pleasing thrills.”

Nope is the latest addition to Peacock’s growing library of recent genre releases that includes Beast, Jurassic World Dominion, The Black Phone, and The Northman.

Don Mancini in the “Early Stages” of Working On a New “Chucky” Movie!

Published

Chucky death

Everyone’s favorite killer doll is headed back to the small screen with “Chucky” Season 3: Part 2 on April 10, but are any further movies being planned at this time?

Created by Don Mancini, the “Chucky” television series remarkably plays around with existing elements from all previous films without disregarding ANYTHING from the past. From the original Child’s Play to sequels including Child’s Play 2, Bride of Chucky and even Seed of Chucky, it’s all one cohesive timeline that Mancini remains deeply committed to.

Of course, the most recent film in the Child’s Play franchise was the 2019 remake, to date the only movie in the saga that’s NOT part of Mancini’s vision. Is Mancini’s original incarnation going to spend his final days on TV, while another Chucky will be featured in the movies? It’s a question we’ve been asking ourselves for the last few years, and we may now have an answer.

Speaking with the Scream Dreams Podcast this week, Mancini revealed that he’s in the early stages of development on a potential new installment in the original Chucky film franchise!

“Like anyone in this business, I want to do more things. At this point though if it’s only Chucky I’m totally cool with that,” Mancini explains. “I have other things I want to do. I’m working on a new pilot. I’m also, actually, in the early stages of working on a new Chucky movie.”

Mancini adds, “At this point, my goal is just to keep working.”

Outside of the aforementioned Child’s Play remake, there are to date seven installments in the franchise, with Cult of Chucky (2017) being the original franchise’s most recent film.

For now, Chucky remains a small screen icon. Don’t miss the premiere of Season 3: Part 2 on both USA and SYFY on April 10, with new episodes hitting Peacock the day after they air.
