Acclaimed director Jordan Peele has provided an exciting update on his currently untitled next film project. Speaking on a recent podcast visit, Peele suggested the secretive horror outing has the potential to be his new favorite if executed properly, raising anticipation for the Oscar winner’s highly-awaited follow-up to 2022’s Nope.
Initially slated to begin production last year for a late 2024 release, Peele’s fourth directorial effort was delayed by industry strikes. But now, after a year spent fine-tuning the concept, the reenergized filmmaker enthusiastically teased the developing film as a new passion project brimming with possibility.
Has Jordan Peele Disclosed Any Details Yet?
True to form, Jordan Peele has remained highly secretive about the plot, genre, and casting of his next movie. Not even a title has been announced at this early stage. As per Variety, Peele did offer some insight into his creative process over the past year and how the project has evolved.
“This has been…obviously, it’s been an interesting year because the writer’s strike had had me in a state of listening, and that’s where I need to be,” he explained. “I do feel like my next project is clear to me, and I’m psyched that I have another film that, you know, could be my favorite movie if I make it right.”
So while firm details remain under wraps, it’s clear Peele has used the unexpected production delay to refine his vision and is now more energized than ever to bring this compelling new idea to life.
What Genres Might Jordan Peele Explore Next?
Peele broke out with gripping and socially conscious horror tales like Get Out, Us, and Nope. But he hasn’t pigeonholed himself to just one genre, also co-writing the action comedy Keanu. When recently asked about future projects, Peele responded:
“I always have something I’m working on that I’m trying to figure out. As time goes by, the world gives me awfulness to interpret.”
So, while he may return to thought-provoking horror, Peele clearly wants to continue exploring the modern world through whichever genre best suits the story. Audiences will have to wait a bit longer to discover exactly what he has in store next.
When Might Jordan Peele’s New Movie Finally Arrive?
With the original late 2024 release date scrapped, Peele’s next film is now targeting 2025. An official release date hasn’t been set yet, pending finalized production plans. But whenever the still-untitled movie does premiere, Peele sounds more fired up than ever to deliver another signature work that ideally ranks among his finest.
After revolutionizing horror with modern classics like Get Out and Nope that blend scares with social commentary, Jordan Peele now has his sights set on what very well could be his magnum opus. Regardless of the eventual genre or premise, fans can likely expect another thrilling, masterfully crafted, and conversation-starting feature whenever Peele’s latest disturbing vision finally descends upon theaters.
