Jordan Peele Us Interview
120Jordan Peele Us Interview
With Us, comedian turned horror maestro Jordan Peele took a pair of golden scissors to the idea of a sophomore slump. The filmmaker's follow-up to Get Out is a straight up horror masterpiece, one that not only spooks the hell out of you in the theater but burrows into your head for long after the credits roll. That's partly because the premise is so simple: The Wilson family—Adelaide (Lupita Nyong'o) and Gabe (Winston Duke) with their two children Zora (Shahadi Wright Joseph) and Jason (Evan Alex)—is on a summer vacation when four violent home invaders arrive to shatter the lakeside peace. The Wilsons soon realizes their assailants aren't burglars — they're "them", four twisted but identical copies of each family member.
Before the film's premiere, I sat down with the filmmaker to discuss Us, doppelgängers, monsters, shared universes, Easter Eggs, and more. Check out what he had to say in the player above, and below is exactly what we talked about.
