The NBA playoffs kick off at the moment! Common Footage marked the event by dropping a brand new teaser for Jordan Peele’s forthcoming new movie, Nope, that includes eight-time NBA All-Star Steph Curry of the Golden State Warriors.
As we have reported previously, Peele has cemented his standing as the present grasp of thought-provoking horror, beginning with Get Out, his shock field workplace hit that earned greater than $250 million and snagged Peele an Oscar for finest authentic screenplay—the primary time the award has gone to a Black recipient.

The primary trailer dropped in February—very moody and atmospheric however providing only a few particulars. (There is perhaps aliens concerned, or Peele needs us to suppose there are as a little bit of misdirection.) Trailers for Peele’s movies by no means reveal an excessive amount of, since a lot of the pleasure of his films comes from their ceaselessly weird twists.
All we all know up to now about Nope is that Daniel Kaluuya (who was nominated for an Oscar for Get Out) asJames Haywood, Keke Palmer (Hustlers, Black Panther) as Jill Haywood and Steven Yeun (Minari, Okja) as Brian. All are “residents in a lonely gulch of inland California who bear witness to an uncanny and chilling discovery.” The forged additionally consists of Michael Wincott as Craig, Brandon Perea as Kevin, Barbie Ferreira as Danielle, and Donna Mills as Bonnie Clayton.
The brand new 30-second teaser recreates components of that first trailer. We see Curry in an empty barn on an remoted horse ranch. He drops the needle on a file and proceeds to shoot just a few baskets. However then the ability instantly goes out. A curious Curry heads to the barn entrance simply because the wind kicks up and we see an ominous shadow fall throughout the scene as he stares on the sky. No matter he sees is not reassuring. He pulls up his hoodie and walks off with a curt, “Nope.”
Verdict: the extremely photogenic Curry will not be profitable an Oscar any time quickly, however it’s a cute meme-worthy advertising and marketing transfer by the studio. Nope hits theaters on July 22, 2022. Primarily based on what we have seen up to now, we’re nonetheless saying “Yep.”
