Michael Abels Rejoins Director Jordon Peele for New Horror Thriller, NOPE

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, JUDAS AND THE BLACK MESSIAH), who is joined by Keke Palmer (HUSTLERS, ALICE) and Oscar® nominee Steven Yeun (MINARI, OKJA) as residents in a lonely gulch of inland California who bear witness to an uncanny and chilling discovery. NOPE, which co-stars Michael Wincott (HITCHCOCK, WESTWORLD) and Brandon Perea (THE OA, AMERICAN INSURRECTION), is written and directed by Jordan Peele and is produced by Ian Cooper (US, CANDYMAN) and Jordan Peele for Monkeypaw Productions.

The film also reunited Peele with his composer of GET OUT and US, Michael Abels. Abels has recently scored David Yarovesky’s NIGHTBOOKS for Netflix, Abi Damaris Corbin’s 892 for Bleecker Street, and the documentary miniseries ALLEN V. FARROW for HBO.

NOPE is scheduled to be released by Universal Pictures on July 22, 2022.
