'Get Out' Director Jordan Peele to Start Filming Next Movie This Year

It looks like actor/director Jordan Peele’s follow-up movie to 2017’s “Get Out” is just around the corner! The Academy Award nominee director revealed that he plans to get around to shooting his next movie this year. After receiving massive critical acclaim for genre movie “Get Out” in all the major award shows this year, Peele is set to make a definite mark in the genre film industry. For one thing, “Get Out” managed to accumulate award nominations for Best Picture, Best Director, and Best Original Screenplay, and it looks like it’s not just stopping there.
It’s rare to have a director’s first film to amass such an immense amount of praise from both critics and audiences, so Peele’s next project comes as a welcome treat to a lot of people. As a follow-up to “Get Out’s” premise, the director now plans to do another film much like his first for a scheduled release date of March 2019.

Jordan Peele’s next film to be another “social thriller.”

In an interview with The Hollywood Reporter, Peele dished out a few details about his next project. “One thing I know is that this is genre; and playing around with the thriller, horror, action, fun genre of intrigue is my favorite. That’s my sweet spot,” Peele said. So I think tonally it should resemble Get Out. That said, I want to make a completely different movie. I want to address something different than race in the next one.”
Peele is writing and developing the as-yet-to-be-titled film under Universal Pictures, the same studio who funded and released “Get Out.”

It’s interesting to see what Peele is cooking up in his creative exploration, especially seeing how he previously stated in a Screen Junkies interview that he wanted to come up with “social thrillers.” For Peele, “the worst monster you can explore in a horror movie [are] the human beings themselves.” With big expectations lingering after “Get Out,” it’s going to be a tricky task for Peele to top what his first film did. But given his knack for socio-political thrillers, it would be nice to find out what the upcoming movie will be about real soon.
