Get Out writer, director and producer Jordan Peele is currently working on another genre film for Universal. The director, who started his career out as a comedian, took part in the on-going series The Hollywood Masters and explained that his next film is in the works.
“I am currently writing it, and I’ll direct for Universal this year.”
Peele gave a bit of details on what the project is about:
“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. 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.”
Jordan Peele’s directorial debut, Get Out, has earned four Oscar nominations as well as a huge chunk of change for Blumhouse and Universal Pictures. The film ran away in the box office grossing $176,040,665 in the USA and a cumulative worldwide gross of $254,716,534, making it the highest grossing Blumhouse Productions film. The film was made with a budget of $5,000,000 which is considered a low-budget.
Peele plans on directing the film later this year.
