Hilarious ‘Get Out’ Parody Short ‘Get In’ Totally Flips the Script
“They’ve seen every Melissa McCarthy film. It’s gonna be fine.”
When we reach the end of 2017, one film we’re definitely going to remember is Jordan Peele’s Get Out. The critically acclaimed box office hit was a brilliant horror film with something to say about our current society, tackling racial issues with a tale about a black man meeting his white girlfriend’s family for the very first time. It’s totally cool though. They voted for Obama.
What if the Get Out script was flipped? That’s precisely what Clay Weiner just imagined with his parody short Get In, brought to our attention by Peele himself; Peele is apparently a fan of the short, as he tweeted it out last night. In Get In, it’s a white woman meeting her black boyfriend’s family for the very first time. It’s totally cool though. They love Melissa McCarthy.
We’re thinking the “SNL” writers are gonna wish they came up with this!
Maika Monroe (Longlegs) and director David Robert Mitchell are reuniting for It Follows sequel They Follow, and Deadline brings us some more casting news this week.
Deadline reports that Naomi Ackie (Blink Twice) is in final talks to join They Follow.
Deadline notes, “There’s no word yet on who Ackie will play, nor the plot of the long anticipated sequel, other than it taking place a decade after the events of the original film.”
They Follow is expected to enter production this Summer. Stay tuned for updates.
In the first movie, Maika Monroe’s Jay Height is a young woman followed by an unknown supernatural force after a sexual encounter. In the sequel, the threat is now EVERYWHERE.
“It’s very dark,” Monroe recently teased. “We’re pushing the boundaries on this one for sure.”
“It’s very different from the original,” Monroe told Discussing Film. “The original is a little more heightened and dramatic, and this is really quite grounded and follows the story of these two women that are mentally dealing with a lot. I thought it was really an interesting take on it.”
NEON and Good Fear Content are producing They Follow.
