Get Out — Trailer

added: Tue, Oct 4th '16

A horror movie from the mind of Jordan Peele!

Yeah, you heard that right. Comedian Jordan Peele, of the Emmy-winning sketch series "Key and Peele," has made a very surprising career move. He's directing his first ever feature film with "Get Out." And it's a straight-up horror movie from horror maestros Blumhouse Productions, starring Allison Williams, of HBO's "Girls" and "Sicario" actor Daniel Kaluuya.

Peele also wrote the film's screenplay, which is taking on hot-button issues concerning race relations and interracial dating, but also appears to have gotten its inspiration from such classic 1970s thrillers as "The Stepford Wives" and "The Wicker Man."

"Get Out" follows an interracial couple (Kaluuya and Williams) as they take a road trip to meet the girlfriend's WASPy parents at the family countryside estate. They soon find themselves stuck in a strange, predominantly white town, where all the African American locals appear to have been brainwashed or possibly suppressed by mind-control drugs.

The thriller also stars Catherine Keener, Bradley Whitford, Caleb Landry Jones (from "X-Men: First Class"), Betty Gabriel (The Purge: Election Year), NBC's "The Carmichael Show" comedian Milton "LilRel" Howery, and FX's "Atlanta" breakout star Keith Stanfield.

"Get Out" will be coming to theaters early next year, in February. In the meantime, you can check out the film's first trailer, above.

synopsis:
In Universal Pictures' Get Out, a speculative thriller from Blumhouse (producers of The Visit, Insidious series and The Gift) and the mind of Jordan Peele, when a young African-American man visits his white girlfriend’s family estate, he becomes ensnared in a more sinister real reason for the invitation.

Now that Chris (Daniel Kaluuya) and his girlfriend, Rose (Allison Williams), have reached the meet-the-parents milestone of dating, she invites him for a weekend getaway upstate with Missy (Catherine Keener) and Dean (Bradley Whitford).

At first, Chris reads the family's overly accommodating behavior as nervous attempts to deal with their daughter's interracial relationship, but as the weekend progresses, a series of increasingly disturbing discoveries lead him to a truth that he could have never imagined.

Equal parts gripping thriller and provocative commentary, Get Out is written and directed by Peele (Key and Peele) and produced by Blumhouse’s Jason Blum...
