“Us”: Trailer For Jordan Peele’s New Horror Film Released

By Creative Media Times

Universal Pictures

The trailer for Jordan Peele’s latest horror movie, “Us” dropped Christmas day and its already a hit, scaring up nearly 8 million views on youtube and has already gone viral.

“They look exactly like us,” Lupita Nyong’o’s character says on the trailer. “They think like us. They knew where we are. We need to move and keep moving. They won’t stop until they kill us. Or we kill them.’’

It is no surprise that Jordan Peele’s next feature is already one of the most highly anticipated 2019 films, given that his 2017 directorial debut “Get Out” was both a critical and boxoffice smash.

Like “Get Out”, the upcoming horror thriller is both quirky and creepy. Here we see a family on an innocent relaxing getaway when cissor-wielding doppelgängers shows up and took their vacation to a terrifying turn.

Thanks to the remix of “I Got 5 on It,” the trailer is genuinely twisted, scary and bizarre, the right kind of mix for another potential hit for the actor director and his production collaborators Jason Blum and Sean McKittrick, who had another success this year in “BlacKkKlansman.” It helps that the film’s plot was not fully spoiled and kept vague by the trailer.

Also in the film are Winston Duke, Elisabeth Moss, Yahya Abdul-Mateen II, Tim Heidecker, Shahadi Wright,and Evan Alex.

Universal Pictures is set to release the film on March 15, 2019.

Ever since the first trailer for “Aladdin” was released in October, people had been wondering about the look of Will Smith’s Genie. Now that has been revealed in the latest issue of Entertainment Weekly, right there on the cover. And he is not blue.

Judging by the cover, Smith will be in the film in full physical form and not in CGI, at least not completely. And though Smith’s look on the mag cover had surprised many fans, the Suicide Squad actor was quick to clarify it on twitter.

BAM!! First look at the Genie, Princess Jasmine, and #Aladdin! Check Me Rockin’ the Top Knot Ponytail Vibes in @entertainmentweekly. (and yes, I’m gonna be BLUE! 🙂 This is how the Genie is in Human / Disguise Form. My character will be CGI most of the movie.)

Also on the cover are Mena Massoud as the titular character, and Naomi Scott as Princess Jasmine. Aladdin is the live-action remake of the 1992 animated film of the same name.

Similar to recent Disney remake Beauty and the Beast, Aladdin is set to feature songs from the animated 1992 original. That film’s soundtrack was created by composer Alan Menken and songwriters Tim Rice and the late Howard Ashman.

Directed by Guy Ritchie, who also wrote the screenplay with John August, the film also features new characters such as Prince Anders and Dalia that are set to be played by Billy Magnussen and Nasim Pedrad respectively.

“Aladdin” is set to be released on Nov. 24, 2019.
