Academy Award-winning director Jordan Peele is going to have fans waiting and waiting and waiting before getting a chance to see his third horror movie – following Get Out and Us – hit the big screen. New buzz reveals the release date is nearly two years away.
Jordan Peele’s Next Horror Movie
According to reports, Peele’s untitled flick is slated to hit theaters in summer 2020. Despite the date getting locked in, there’s no telling what approach or title Jordan is leaning toward.
Universal Pictures announced Monday that its untitled event film set for theatrical release July 22, 2022, will be a horror movie from the Get Out and Us director. The studio declined to state Peele’s precise role on the new film, though as The Hollywood Reporter points out, the project is one of two films mentioned as part of his overall deal with Universal. A 2019 announcement about the deal stated that he would be producing, directing, and writing both projects. No further details about the new movie, including plot or casting details, are available at this time. (Entertainment Weekly)
