Around the Table with Jordan Peele and the Cast of 'Nope' | Entertainment Weekly
/ ew - Zábava
I know people get annoyed, but I've gotta say... it's pretty cool to look at a cast of a major horror film and see Black main characters and Asian main characters carrying the entire plot. It just feels like authentic and organic diversity... and something that still feels rare and novel (unfortunately). They're not playing token caricatures in a giant sea of homogenous characters either. It's quite refreshing. It takes a director willing to break those boundaries and take new risks. Bravo to Peele.
fuck if they get annoyed! It’s cool ash to see
If I had a friend who was annoyed by this, I would stop being friends with them
Those who get annoyed can F off. It’s awesome.
It really is special what Peele is doing for the genre. I've been a Black horror film nerd my whole life and now I get to see MYSELF in the films that I've loved forever, so anyone getting annoyed about us saying stuff like that just has never known what that feels like and they can fuck off 😅
This type of cast is still not yet normal. So might as well be excited for it.
Say what you want about Peele's movies... they are fresh ideas. So tired of remakes, sequels or dying franchises
Here here
i honestly don't know how to quite describe how or why Peele's movies are so unique and good. But they are. Each one really sits with me for a long time after watching. I knew nothing about Nope before watching except knowing it was his next movie, and for that reason alone I knew it was going to be special.
totally agree.
All his movies have the magical three layers that make the best films as good as they are.
1st layer is the story, A-Z, pretty simple. Anyone can write that.
2nd layer adds extra character depth, with believable actions and emotional connections. Good dialogue, etc. That's harder, but essential for a good movie. Makes you forget that an actor is playing a character.
All good movies do those two.
The 3rd layer is a theme that runs through, interconnects with all actions, characters, story elements, locations, etc. An overarching theme that's deep. All great movies have all 3.
What Peele does which is truly excellent is he makes the theme multifaceted. People can interpret this in multiple ways. There's more than one right answer.
Truly stunning, excellent filmmaker.
My problem with remakes is they keep remaking beloved classics. When they should be remaking movies that had good concepts but failed and didn’t live up to their ideas/expectations
I think Steven Yeun’s character and performance are really the glue for the story and that element of the movie is really underrated
He wasn't under rated by Jordan Peele. The make believe property is on Universal's lot and already attracting people. These were incredible actors, seems like coming with super glue was mandatory for all of them.
@@justus7181 Sure, but I don’t see the average audience member recognizing his character’s significance in the film. Obviously the other actors are great, but I could see him being overlooked
@@abandonablesnowman you're right that certain people want to they can find a way to dismiss whats meant to be obvious, but Jordan Peele gives this character a very significant purpose, and as a very central part of his story telling.
The character was very unique, far from being any particular stereotype, his acting ability is phenomenal.
The scene where they talk about buying back the horses, the written on screen character evades the question, but the actor evades the audience, to do that simultaneously gives the illusion of magic.
This film is so incredibly great with many very talented people.
He was the most interesting character and I wish he and his family would’ve been explored more. I bet there’s more backstory to him in terms of the between Gordy attack and Jean jacket attack
@@b_i_l_l_w_i_l_l_i_a_m_s_o_n Definitely, I do like the choice though of leaving so much unsaid. That in itself creates a sort of creeping terror throughout the film. Why am I unsettled by this story of the chimp and why is it more eerie when left unexplained?
Never heard of Brandon Perea before this movie, but I’m looking forward to seeing him in more movies, loved his character, and his energy. He’s a great actor and can’t wait to see what he has and what kind of roles he can play
He was really good in The OA along with the entire cast
Not a movie tho
@@yesi5554 OMG HE WAS IN THAT, I COMPLETELY FORGOT. SUCH AN UNDERRATED SHOW
@@yesi5554 when i heard he was in this i was so excited cuz the OAs been done for so long
and he´s so cute tho
Jordan Peele watching these guys talk about the nuances of their roles like the proudest dad of all time. the cast dynamic was my favorite aspect of the film so i thoroughly enjoyed this!
Like smelling his own farts, enjoy!
I personally need Jordan Peele to make more movies. Actually these are films not just movies, they are magic.
I like his work, it's different
Check out Ari Aster and Robert Eggers if you haven’t already.
same, i´m a huge fan since get out
A “spectacle” if you will. 👽
I think how Steven Yeun portrayed the character (and Steven Yeun in general) is incredibly underrated. What got me to love the movie aside from its amazing and captivating absurdity is how Steve Yeun portrayed the nuances of Jupe's character. Hearing them discuss that during this interview made me think how pressing it must've been to play that character which he did so astoundingly well. While I was watching, I looked at him with an immense unexplainable sinking feeling I couldn't even understand. Props to him! I hope to see him more.
He's such an underrated actor.
He's an INCREDIBLE actor. His character in the movie "Minari" is a 180 degree polar opposite character from this movie, heartbreaking performance he really deserves an oscar.
He is extremely effective in the Korean movie 'Burning'. His technique is very subtle; he knows the movie's context/build-up from previous scenes do most of the heavy lifting which means he can inhabit these characters in a very naturalistic way w/o irony or affectation.
He's one of the best actors alive when it comes to saying contradictory stuff through his eyes and just his silent motion. Its incredible to watch
In an industry where films are recycled , regurgitated, remakes or shitty writing with no meaningful plot, NOPE is one of the few films in recent times that has substance. It was so unique, mystifying, and, captivating. It brought back this feeling of childhood curiosity and wonder. It had me on the edge of my seat wanting to uncover the mystery of it all. The characters have depth and you genuinely care about them to the point where you feel like you’re there with them. It’s also one of the few movies that has genuinely made me scared, disturbed and feel uneasy, during, and after. I hope more Hollywood writers and directors take notes because Jordan Peele is a genius.
I think this is Jordan Peele's most unique and high quality film he's made so far, which is insane because his previous films are both award-winning. The editing and narrative of this film was incredibly unusual and I was super impressed by how distinct the film looked, especially compared to modern horror films.
This movie is going to take a few times to fully digest I think. I just never wanted to end, I’m already hoping there will be a longer directors cut down the line
I saw another interview where Jordan mentions the first draft of the film was nearly 4 hours! Praying we see some of that cut footage for sure
@@bunnytail21 haha I think that interview is what sparked the want for a directors cut. I definitely think some of the characters could’ve gotten more screen time specifically Jupe and some of the rest of the folk from the amusement park
Totally. The first cut was 3hrs and 45min long. So much to digest. So many layers and plots and subplots with deeper meanings. It's just a brilliant film.
I feel what was inconsistent is the motorcycle by the gossip journalist reporter, he came in unexpected, uninvited, random surprise at the ranch. And just so happens the motorcycle played a very crucial part. Imagine if the gossip columnist decided not to visit the ranch that day, how far and fast Keke's character need to get to that town to let loose the giant inflated balloon character.
@@eddiegee2940 literally one of my only problems of the movie was that character seemed so out of place
i love how when jordan is talking about opening up the movie to black joy, black adventure, black excellence, keke looks at daniel.
Racist
When he listed the list of films Jordan gave him…you can directly peer into his mind as he was writing this. All of those movies paint such a clear vibe, and represent eerily the same things. Awesome.
when was this part?
@@notprosperBEATS 2:12
And that's why this film is not fresh or unique at all. Just a mixture of Close Encounters, Jaws, Alien, War of the Worlds, The Abyss, & Westerns etc. Nothing wrong with that, but I'd rather have the originals. Maybe it's an age thing.
@@Muswell No art is fresh or unique. Especially movies. All those films listed have filmmakers who clearly describe what they borrowed or were inspired from other films.
@@jacquesca I agree. My comment was in response to many people who have said this film is "fresh & unique". I'm wondering if it's an under/over 40s thing. . But I disagree about "art". . Art can be VERY new, fresh & unique.
jordan peele's movies are 3 for 3 for me. they're all incredible in such different ways
I love that Jordan constantly gives Keke chills when he’s speaking and everything she says cracks Jordan up. Love them.
After seeing the movie twice and also watching the interviews that the cast has done, Jordan really created all of his movies as a “spectacle.” We were curious about what happened in Get Out, we definitely had to know what Us was about, and NOPE was a movie a pure spectacle. One line Jordan said this was about the “Violence of Attention” and that sums it all up.
Yes, because literally all the characters wanted to be seen, “violence of attention” was the furthest thing from my mind to describe it but it was perfect, he said that perfectly. I didnt think much of the movie at first but after re-evaluating my memories of it, this is a masterpiece for sure, so much Jordan took into thought, every aspect of this movie, not a single shot wasted, every scene meant somethingn
I just saw Nope last night. I loved it. SPOILERS AHEAD. Having said that, I can’t help but feel like the character of Jupe was under utilised. I feel like the flashbacks positioned Jupe as the centre of the narrative, but the “present day” story didn’t reflect that enough. I wanted to see more of him with the other characters and more exploration of how his sense of survivor’s guilt played into what he was trying to do with the Star Lasso Experience. I’m going to have to watch it again, because maybe I missed some stuff, but what a fun film.
Really fun film! In my opinion though I feel like Jupe didn’t have a bigger role because the type of kid he was, a child actor in a show that was commodifying an animal for the sake of entertainment (of course unbeknownst to him because he was a child) and the show exploiting the monkey STILL carried on into his adult life. Like, the monkey didn’t kill him (the theory as to why it didn’t was because it’s eyes were covered) when he was a kid and therefore he continued to exploit animals for money, and trying to profit off of the monster in the process. But you can’t cage an animal for long and the monster goes berserk just like the monkey. I’m not sure if this was the point Peele was trying to make but that’s what I got from watching it.
I recommend that everyone see this movie multiple times! Once you know what’s coming, you notice more of the smaller things within the movie!
Really? Another 2hrs?
@@Muswell yeah if you have the free time
@@theuniverse7227 I lost 2hrs of my life the first time round. Lol.
@@Muswell oh okay cool, I liked it. Everyone is different
Congrats to Brandon. Killed it in the OA, excited to see him doing great things.
I TOTALLY FORGOT HE WAS IN THE OA I LOVED THAT SHOW
@@lucapooka6694 Sucks that it was killed
Oh he got the Oscar beard. He coming for another one
Jordan is so genuinely humble... mad respect. Can’t wait for his next one.
He's also racist and boring
Daniel’s my favorite actor. This whole cast is just way too good to way too good. But Daniel’s way of saying so much without saying anything in this film just hits so close to home. Love Jordan peele so much as well. True artist and can tell he has true love for the att.
Peele is just at the top of his game. Very talented guy. Love his sketches from back in the day on Key and Peele and now his movies are just smashing it. And fair play for his casting skills and sharing some black history
Gotta thank the casting director for that carmen cuba
These characters really stuck with me after leaving the movie. Now I know why! Great discussion
Daniel K is already a living damn legend wow 😳
Really hoping to see Brandon and Daniel in more movies. Dudes kill it on screen
Aaaaand Keke and Steven!!!🙌🏻🙌🏻
These are SO much better when they can actually talk about the film. :)
You can tell they all respect each other as individuals. Not just within the film as a project, but outside of the project. It’s so refreshing to see that with a cast as well as director.
It is SO interesting to see how much each of these characters bring to the characters. It's almost like they just play themselves.
especially keke! god i love her
Steven Yeun is such a master of acting. I highly recommend Burning
I hope we get a Directors Cut off Nope!! I noticed there were some scenes in the trailers that didn't make it in the movie and I wanna know what they mean 👀
Jordan is not just a brilliant writer/director, he seems to have great leadership qualities, as well.
gonna throw this out there, the organic spaceship looks like the retina of an eye consuming what it sees, the people are looking at the monster are also "consumed" by the "spectacle" of the monster/organic ship. The thing turns into different shapes that resemble ink blots a person is shown by a psychiatrist. Like it's projecting what it sees. So if we don't look at the spectacles around us, then we won't be consumed by it. hmm... Will definitely have to watch again. Loved the cinematography too. Fantastic movie!!
This is a really interesting observation. Thank you for sharing .
I never expected the "Peele" of Key and Peele to have this sort of brain. I freaking love it. And how does one not scare themselves?
it takes a lot of knowledge and smarts to successfully do comedy!
Why wouldn’t you? Their comedy was brilliant. Good comedy requires intensely acute observational skills, and insight. Not shocking at all.
Jordan sounds like he’s doing a character as a director in a Key and Peele skit lol
I was thinking the same thing 💀
I was looking for this comment - I’m so used to him doing character voices that his voice in this doesn’t seem to match lol
Just saw the film. Not sure how I feel about it overall, but the design for... it is one of the most unique things I've ever seen
Give it some time to sink in. Think about the deeper meanings of what was going on and what it was all about. I totally get that initial feeling though right after the film ends. But after some thought and conversations there were so many layered ideas going on throughout the film that it takes another watch to fully understand what we are watching.
Isn't that design fucking spectacular?! I feel like every on screen monster has looked the same for like six years. Grey, fleshy, and angular. Jean Jacket was the coolest piece of VFX I've seen in ages.
Remember that Jean Jacket may not be an alien. From the Biblical text from the beginning of the movie, it could be that it's a being that had meaning from long ago to take down an army that constituted horses and humans, thereby developing a taste..
Recently they made it plausible to believe that the Lochness Monster may be real, the remains of plesiosaurus's were found in a fresh water river.
Watch it again, u may change ur mind
"Unique" ? All the scenes are nods to so many other previous big films.
everyone is so profound and articulate. such a layered and spectacular film!
one of the most in depth and entertaining films I've watched, Jordan Peele is a genius.. a pure genius and the cast and entire film crew did a phenomenal job with this film. I am a proud fan and supporter of everyone involved.
Saw Nope last weekend -- very exciting, thought-provoking, outstanding sound design, and deeply culturally layered. Fantastic job up and down call sheet. Loved the Scorpion King Crew sweatshirt!
steven seems like such an introspective and cerebral person, i feel like he still hasn't been able to land the one role that allows him to dig really deep into it (his time in nope should've been longer). hopefully that changes
This interview adds so much more layers to the experience of watching NOPE. I soo much appreciate mass media in general that are born upon personal life struggles and contemplation, you can peek into the inner conflicts, questions and contradictions someone went through (or is still going through) and how they managed (or is managing, or decided how to manage) it. It is so interesting to know that the crew thinks of NOPE as a movie not so much about aliens, but more about "spectacle", the industry around it, and real live people in and outside those industries. I think the implications expand when currently ANYONE could - intentionally or unintentionally, willingly or unwillingly - be someone who spectates or becomes spectated.
i had a "jaws" feeling the whole time, this makes me have validation! lowkey dont want to look up just how the people didnt want to go in the water
I'm still digesting this movie and breaking it down with my friends. We're going to watch it again tonight in 4D.
My favorite part so far is the use of the purple people eater song. The story behind that song and it's placement in the film was one thing I really appreciated.
Keke is just so amazing
she really is. an all-around great entertainer and from what i can tell, an awesome person
I think this is a masterpiece and over peoples heads. The same with "The Thing", this movie will get its flowers. Its so crazy the Brother/sister part of this movie that Peele spoke about because watching this feels like something you just want on. Its a "on repeat" type of movie for sure.
It's great to see a roundtable interview where the creators just get to speak freely, intelligently and with insight about the film and the ideas behind it.
man when you watch Peele's work you can feel his love and knowledge for film. everything he does. his methods, who and how he casts, everything. its amazing.
This movie is unique in so many ways! Re-watchability! This movie is in the category with Jaws in that it's an instant classic that can enjoyably to be watched again and again. Something that most movies don't have. It has so many layers and it's truly thought provoking, another thing sorely lacking.
Ughh I could've listened to them talk about this movie forever. 🤩 Those 20 minutes went by like nothing! Love this cast and this movie!!!
You can tell how personal this movie was to Jordan in these interviews man. You wouldnt think an alien horror movie could be so autobiographical but there you go lol. Symbolism-wise, it feels like everything came from IRL experiences.
Maybe thats the reason this movie unnerved me so much.. you can tell how real the horror and emotion is, like it came from a super real place.
Turning your trauma into monster movies is honestly pretty brilliant when you think about it
Keith David also voiced Dr. Facilier (The Shadow Man) from The Princess and the Frog, my favorite Disney movie!
Jean Jacket, Jordan Peele, Daniel Kaluuya, Keke Palmer, Steven Yeun, should all get Oscars.
Or maybe just the horses?
I've watched all the videos that talk about Nope and I must say that the cast, Jordan, and the themes/ideas in this film is thought provoking and I would say please keep doing what you do Jordan. Daniel Kaluuya still boss in your performance, KeKe, Brandon, and Steven your performances were top notch. Brandon, I hope to see more performances from you and you definitely nailed the character of Angel.
jordan makes me feel excited about movies again. such a genius!!! also this cast is perfect
I wonder if Jordan peele took any inspiration from Midsommar, particularly because he didn’t wait till nightfall to record some of the more terrifying scenes. Scaring people during daytime in movies is pretty rare and it’s really well done!
Yess. Daytime scare is underrated.
I'm pretty sure that's the Jaws influence and western vibe is usually violently bright
@@dominique2o06 oh I hadn’t thought of that 🧐
I swear if this movie does not get any Oscar nominations there is something really wrong with the Oscar committee I expect Jordan to be best director and I expect Keke palmer to be best female lead in a movie I guarantee it
They totally deserve nominations for sure, and I'd love to see them win.
I don't know what movie you were watching.
@@darjohn9550 if you didn't get it, you weren't paying attention lmao
Considering its a summer horror, im not to sure about that. But here’s hoping some big recognition comes out of it
@@calliecocritter9247 Get Out got nominated
Keith David's voice has been apart of my entire life.. I can't tell if I'm remembering Goliath, Spawn, scenes in Call of Duty or something random like Lester Wallace in Barbershop
This was such an interesting discussion! Love how they all wanted to dive into the thoughts n feelings of the characters
Just saw it yesterday with my brother who is 18months older than me and very different than me personality wise so this definitely was relatable for us so I appreciate the sibling angel Jordon has in this one!
When Jordan says “we’re gonna need a bigger boat!” In the key and peele ass slapping sketch. He loves Jaws!
You've gotta respect a director who listened and works with constructive criticism - Jordan Peele is a great artist with his work and I love it
This movie really is like a reverse Jaws with the same fears but from above rather than below
Here's a NEW "Nope" Inspired instrumental for you : czcams.com/video/oP5cszaJLcM/video.html Enjoy :)
i love jordan and the whole cast as a whole, he is the glue and they are the pieces that make up the whole piece flow so well :)
this was an amazing interview. I'm going to be coming back to this one
This interview explains a lot. I was lost for most of the movie. Now it makes sense. I’d like to see it again with fresh eyes.
Jordan peele understands filmmaking
This is one of my favorite movies. I love that this movie had me questioning everything I know that I don't know about aliens. Jordan Peele is so fresh and clean with his movies. It really is appreciated and I can't wait for the next one.
I love this movie, my family lives out in the boonies here in New Mexico and I showed them all this movie on thanksgiving night. No one had watched it yet but I knew it would keep my cousins up all night haha. We all sat around our bonfire talking nothing but this film. Great times i miss seeing everyones expressions on their faces
My favorite film of 2022 so far and by far!!
Brandon is so fine.
He really is I’m excited for this movie 🍿
Thank you, Jordan and cast members each of you played a significant and extraordinary role in this
I’m so sad i found this movie 2 years after it came out. It is truly a wonderful film and has such a great, colorful, and charismatic cast. I love the way they interact and how passionate they all seem about this project. It’s suchhhh a fun movie to watch and it feels so immersive and grounded. JJ was written so carefully to be a believable creature. It’s easy to think it could exist outside of some small holes and flaws. And it’s not just the alien, it’s the characters, too. They feel like real people who have dreams and aspirations and priorities and they all have very different lives that still overlap in one way or another. They’re so well done and the acting is soooo good 😭
And knowing the movie now, some of the words used in all these interviews really stick out, and i think they were purposeful.
I don’t think I’ve ever watched this much press for a movie before. Jordan and this cast are dynamite.
Awesome movie, excellent actors Great job Jordan Peele. I'm going to watch it again.
I feel like Jordan became one of his sketches.
peele is an entire revolution for the film industry. his movies are like the little pine trees for cars.
sidenote, its so nice to see brandon soaking the attention up. get it babey!
I watched this with my brother and enjoyed watching the whole sibling relationship because it felt very realistic and relatable
I'm so impressed by Jordan Peele
I loved the sound design of this movie
Thanks so much!!
You can tell Brandon been around the brothers by the way he speaks which probably helped him connect with the rest of the cast so well
lmao
the what? 😂
I like this movie even more now after this interview. There's a lot of heart into this. Well done!
Here's a NEW "Nope" Inspired instrumental for you : czcams.com/video/oP5cszaJLcM/video.html Enjoy :)
Oh, and shot so well, absolutely perfect, funny and just, amazing. Small jokes, but land. The story and execution, phenomenal!!!! I thank you for making this film happen
This movie was so freakin awesome! I'm considering going to see it again.
something about the chracter Jupe just really sticks with you. His backstory, his arc and everything. It's so depressing
This movie was damn good, kudos Peele! Excited to see more from him :)
Dream team, no question about it! Everyone in that cast was absolute perfection.
This movie is so damn good & the cast was excellent 👏
One less-than -one-minute scene terrorized me for days. And I'm here for interviews. And I laugh at most horror movies. This...this one short scene. NOPE
Brilliant film. Splendid cast. Incredible metaphors. Go watch it now!
Really enjoyed this cast. Truly!
Great job cast and director. I truly HOPE for a sequel and or Prequel this story is not over guys, loving the fam like vibes.
Oh & yes. You film and tell a story to where you forget you are watching a movie. You feel like you are an observer of reality. That, is remarkable! I mean, just thank you! For sharing and your work
Nope was a good movie, but I always find myself comparing all of his movies to Get Out. Get Out was a flawless movie.
I really enjoyed the film. Thank you Jordan thank you everyone 🙏🏼
Gorgeous cast! 😍
this was actually very informative
Great movie, loved it. Jordan, keep bringing out these type of genre movies
Here's a NEW "Nope" Inspired instrumental for you : czcams.com/video/oP5cszaJLcM/video.html Enjoy :)
Excellent film making...that cinematography and sound effect..great cast..great animal actors..
I just saw the movie last week and it was very entertaining..I love what he's doing on all levels in the nuances in the movie and others before. Thank you Mr.Peele.
Be more specific with the nuances
Crazy ass film with great chemistry between the actors.
