This year Jordan Peele made his directorial debut with the social satire thriller Get Out. The film had hints of The Twilight Zone in it as it wasn’t strictly a horror film but one that would make your skin crawl and question what you just saw.

Well, it looks like Peele will be diving into that world once more as he literally will be developing a new take on The Twilight Zone, which would appear on CBS’s streaming platform CBS All Access. More on the story below.

It’s been announced that Key & Peele star and Get Out director Jordan Peele and his Monkeypaw Productions, Star Wars: The Force Awakens, Star Trek director J.J. Abrams and his Bad Robot Productions, and Warner Bros. Television are joining forces for an HBO horror anthology series titled Lovecraft Country.

The one-hour supernatural drama series is based on the novel of the same name by author Matt Ruff, and HBO has already given the project a straight-to-series order.

Warner Brothers’ live-action adaptation of Akira has been development hell for the better part of 15 years. Going through numerous directors, the film looked like it would never get out of it. But new reports say Get Out director Jordan Peele may be the person to step in and helm the film.

According to The Tracking Board, insiders say that WB is “moving aggressively” towards inking a deal with Peele to direct the film. This coming off Get Out, which was his directorial debut. Apparently, the studio was thinking about having Peele direct The Flash, but Akira is a top priority for the studio, and it looks like discussions between the two have been “encouraging.” More on the story below.

Whether it’s Rosemary’s Baby, Invasion of the Body Snatchers, or Videodrome, the best horror films act as subversive social commentaries, dealing with humanity’s fears on a subconscious level and offering a kind of communal catharsis.

In his 1981 non-fiction book, Danse Macabre, author Stephen King states that the horror genre can “serve as an extraordinarily accurate barometer of those things which trouble the night-thoughts of a whole society.” George A. Romero’s landmark 1968 film, Night of the Living Dead, for example, was rife with racial commentary during the height of the Civil Rights Movement.

A new trailer has been released for the horror movie Get Out. The movie comes from, believe it or not, Jordan Peele, one half of the duo behind the Comedy Central sketch comedy show Key & Peele. He also co-wrote the screenplay for the recent comedy Keanu, in which he starred alongside Keegan-Michael Key.

Peele pulls double duty this time around as both writer and director, his first time working behind the camera. The movie is described as a “speculative thriller,” and it comes from Universal Pictures and Blumhouse Productions, makers of hit low-budget horror franchises such as Paranormal Activity, Insidious, and The Purge.
