Description:
The first trailer for Jordan Peele's Nope teases an extraterrestrial threat.

FULL STORY ======================================================================

Director Jordan Peele is no stranger to the uncanny, but his latest project, simply titled Nope, may turn out to be his weirdest yet.

The first official trailer for The Get Out and Us filmmakers new horror movie dropped ahead of this years Super Bowl , and suffice to say, things get suitably terrifying in the two-minute clip.

Elaborating on the cryptic teaser images fans were treated to last week,
Nopes first trailer introduces actors Daniel Kaluuya, Keke Palmer and Steven Yeun as residents in a lonely gulch of inland California who bear witness to an uncanny and chilling discovery.

Check it out below:

As is typical of Peeles movies, audiences should expect to go into Nope
which is slated for release on July 22, 2022 without a detailed idea of what theyre about to see, but this trailer does give us a slightly better idea of the films premise.

By the looks of things, Kaluuya and Palmer star as two ranchers (or more specifically, keepers of the only Black-owned horse training business in Hollywood) who dream of making it big in the movie industry. Just as things are looking up, though, a mysterious presence begins to spook both the
animals and locals (or so it seems to us).

Prior to the release of this first trailer (and the teaser images that preceded it), wed only been offered a cryptic, Stephen King-esque poster for Nope showing a cloud floating above a remote town. The cloud in question
makes a fleeting appearance in the new footage, though were none the wiser as to the exact role itll play perhaps as some sort of vessel for an extraterrestrial visitor?

Interestingly, there are several allusions to aliens elsewhere in Nopes first trailer. During a blink-and-youll-miss-it shot featuring some creepy-looking mascots for a Star Lasso Experience (presumably the business of Yeuns character), we also catch a glimpse of a product described as an alien
viewer.

From what we can tell, it looks like this so-called experience commercializes whatever skyward phenomenon seems to be occupying the attention of various individuals in the trailer. 'Star Lasso' also implies some sort of relationship between horses and space in the movie, though it's a little too early to be delving any further down that rabbit hole.

Then, of course, theres the moment we see Palmers character being whisked
into the air Twister-style, as well the scene in which a baby seems to be fist-bumping a sticky-looking creature (a fairly explicit reference to E.T.).

All of those signs point towards Nope being Peeles first bona fide supernatural thriller, though as weve mentioned, theres usually no use in trying to preempt the narratives in his often deceiving movies.

Further confirmed details about Nope are few and far between, but we do know that Barbie Ferreira, Brandon Perea and Michael Wincott will also be starring in the movie, while frequent Christopher Nolan collaborator Hoyte van Hoytema is on board as its cinematographer. A Super Bowl of trailers

Of course, this years Super Bowl wasnt only a showcase for Peeles latest project.

The annual NFL event also played host to new footage from various highly-anticipated film and TV projects, including Amazons Lord of the Rings series, The Rings of Power , Doctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madness and Dwayne Johnsons DC debut, Black Adam.

Teasers for those titles followed big entertainment announcements in the week prior, too. Disney confirmed that its Obi-Wan Kenobi series would be hitting Disney plus on May 25, while fans were also treated to the first official trailer for Jurassic World: Dominion .

Put simply, 2022 is primed to be a massive year for new movies and TV shows, and with projects like Nope and Alex Garlands Men in the theatrical pipeline for the coming months, the horror genre, in particular, appears in rude health.
