Get Out was a massive success for Universal and Peele in his directorial debut, earning over $255 million globally off a $4.5 million budget. The film also earned widespread praise from critics and audiences for its deft blend of comedy and horror, as well as its trenchant themes and subtle messages hidden throughout the film. It was nominated for four Academy Awards, with Peele winning for Best Original Screenplay, making him the first African-American writer to win the award.
Us is written and directed by Peele (Get Out), who also produces through his Monkeypaw Productions. The film is produced by Sean McKittrick, Jason Blum and Monkeypaw’s Ian Cooper with Daniel Lupi executive producing.
Peele is currently in talks to produce a remake of director Bernard Rose’s 1992 horror film adaptation, Candyman. He is also busy working on other projects such as the comedy series Weird City for YouTube Premium, HBO’s Lovecraft Country and the CBS series remake of The Twilight Zone.
