New IMAX Featurette For Jordan Peele's 'NOPE' Reveals The Massive Scope Of The Film

Director Jordan Peele is for sure on everyone’s watch list when it comes to new movies. When it pertains to his latest film, ‘Nope’, Peele promises fans the film will bring “awe, fear and wonder”. With the film being made specifically with IMAX cameras, this may indeed be his most ambitious film yet.

Universal will be releasing ‘Nope’ in theaters on July 22, 2022. The film is being referred to in official press materials as “a new pop nightmare” and “an expansive horror epic.”

Just HOW expansive are we talking here? Check out the below IMAX Featurette that delves into just that question.

“IMAX is movie magic pushed to its limit. When you see a film in an IMAX theater, it feels like you are there. It’s complete immersion, and there’s nothing quite like it,” Peele says.

In the film, “Residents in a lonely gulch of inland California who bear witness to an uncanny and chilling discovery.”

Daniel Kaluuya (Get Out) will be reteaming with Peele on the mysterious movie, with the cast also including Steven Yeun (“The Walking Dead,” Mayhem) and Keke Palmer (“Scream”). Michael Wincott (The Crow), Barbie Ferreira and Brandon Perea also star.

Nope is part of a “five-year exclusive production partnership” Universal Pictures inked with Peele and his Monkeypaw Productions, and it’s been described as a “horror event.” Mind you, anything from Peele at this point is instantly an event, but we can probably expect Nope to be Peele’s biggest movie to date, with an announced IMAX optimization.

On that note, the film’s cinematographer is Hoyte van Hoytema, whose previous work includes Let the Right One In, Spectre, and the Christopher Nolan films Interstellar, Dunkirk, and Tenet.
