Jordan Peele’s ‘Nope’ Goes Big with IMAX
Jordan Peele’s Nope takes to the skies with an alien invasion. When you have that much real estate to play with, you go with the big lenses.
We got the final trailer for Jordan Peele’s Nope last month. In this behind-the-scenes look, director Jordan Peel and cinematographer Hoyte van Hoytema talk about the challenges of creating what we’ll see on big screens next week. It’s Peele’s largest and most ambitious movie yet – and IMAX cameras are a big part of it. When you have a large enemy coming from the sky, you want the wide shots they provide.
Sci-fi horror has been focused on monsters trapped in space ships or under the ocean for a while. It’s about time we got a scary, people-killing UFO movie (ok, so one that isn’t horrible). I trust Jordan Peele to deliver something great and weird and terrifying. Something that leans into the kind of storytelling he did for The Twilight Zone.
The trailers reveal just enough – there are going to be aliens, but why they’re there and where they came from are still mysteries. And what’s up with the horses? There are still a lot of questions to be answered. I’m excited to finally see this next Friday.

Nope Details
Oscar-winner Jordan Peele is the screenwriter and director. Nope reunites him with Daniel Kaluuya; plus Keke Palmer, Steven Yeun, and Michael Wincott.
Jordan Peele disrupted and redefined modern horror with “Get Out” and then “Us.” Now, he reimagines the summer movie with a new pop nightmare: the expansive horror epic, Nope. Residents in a lonely gulch of inland California bear witness to an uncanny and chilling discovery.
Nope arrives in theaters on July 22nd.
