We sat down with Nope director Jordan Peele and star Keke Palmer to talk about making movies that leave people thinking — and all that buzz about Marvel’s Rogue.
In the months leading up to the debut of Jordan Peele’s Nope, trying to figure out what the hell the movie was about became a kind of event unto itself as the director’s fans pored over trailers, posters, and interviews, feverishly trying to suss out just how the movie might shock them. For many, going into Nope completely unaware of its premise was a big part of what made the film such a thrilling experience.
Peele said that his stories are always rooted in specific, personal observations that he expands upon as part of his creative process, and he balked at the idea of explicitly setting out to make movies that people slap a prestige label onto simply because its subject matter is nuanced. “I don’t want people to think that I’m trying to make ‘elevated’ films,” Peele said. “I think that’s a trap that I don’t quite appreciate because I, you know, I like making fucked-up films.
