Jordan Peele’s Latest Film Gets First Plot Synopsis

Filmmaker Jordan Peele launched his directorial career about as well as anyone could ever have launched their career. His first film, Get Out, managed to become a nationwide phenomenon, wrapping up relevant social commentary in a horror blanket, giving audiences the scares they wanted along with the uncomfortable message they didn’t realize they wanted.

All of a sudden, Peele became a filmmaker who seemed to stand on top as a trailblazer of original, high concept ideas, and we’ve since been watching with bated breath, wondering where he’d take his career next. Yes, the dude is working on The Twilight Zone, but we’re talking about his next actual film, which we know almost nothing about…other than it would be another horror social commentary-type movie. Now, /Film has revealed a synopsis that is being thrown around test screenings for the film titled Us:

“A mother (Academy Award winner Lupita Nyong’o from Black Panther, Star Wars: The Last Jedi and 12 Years a Slave) and a father (Winston Duke from Black Panther) take their kids to their beach house expecting to unplug and unwind with friends (including Emmy winner Elizabeth Moss from TV series The Handmaid’s Tale). But as night descends, their serenity turns to tension and chaos when some shocking visitors arrive uninvited.”

The premise is simple, with its main conflict already front-and-center for all to see. It is clearly based in the same horror/thriller roots as Get Out, but it’s still quite vague. Right away, when you’re talking about home invasions, it’s hard not to think about The Strangers in some way or another, but we don’t know in what shape these strange visitors will arrive. For all we know, it won’t be a home invasion, but a different kind of tens and chaotic deal that goes off in an unexpected direction.
