Get Out and Us writer-director Jordan Peele is working on a new project. And today we hear Daniel Kaluuya (Get Out, Black Panther) and Keke Palmer (Scream Queen, MTV Scream) have each snagged lead roles.
The Illuminerdi also reported Jesse Plemons (Breaking Bad, Fargo, Black Mirror) is up for a role. Here are some character details:
Artie is a lead, Latinx, or Native American man in his 20s to early 30s. An L.A. native, he works in the electronics department of a major retail store. He’s described as genuine, insightful, and “clutch”.
Winston Claes is a supporting character 55-70, with open ethnicity. Winston is a Fine Art Photographer whose career-long obsession for perfection has led him to the edge of a dull and unsatisfying end to his career. He radiates succinct weather-beaten insight of a lovably gruff unwilling mentor. Winston is emotionally balanced, but his Achillie’s heel is his thinly veiled ego.

All of this lines up with what Murphys Multiverse reported earlier: “The story will focus on a man between 20 to 32 old who lives on the outskirts of Los Angeles. He is a Walmart employee in the electronics section, who is described as perceptive, sincere, and “clutch”. [The filmmakers] are currently looking to cast someone either with a Latino or Native American background for the role.”
As you might imagine, story details are under wraps. But that said, we know Peele will direct, write and produce with Win Rosenfeld, Ian Cooper, and Peter Graf. Universal Pictures and Peele’s Monkeypaw Productions are behind the scenes. The movie kicks off filming in Los Angeles in April. Universal will unleash the film on July 22, 2022. We’ll see about that. Either way, stay tuned.
