Originally, Peele and Universal had the movie down for a Christmas 2024 release. That obviously never happened. Guild strikes necessitated a move, bumping it to what would have been next Halloween. Sadly, it appears that too won\u2019t be happening. No word yet on where the movie will end up.<\/p>\n<p class=\"mb-4 text-lg md:leading-8 break-words\">With only three feature films under his belt as writer and director, Peele has already become an emerging voice to watch in the horror\/sci-fi space. Breaking on to the scene with 2017\u2019s monster hit <em>Get Out<\/em>, Peele won an Academy Award for Best Original Screenplay. This followed fairly quickly with 2019\u2019s <em>Us<\/em>, in many ways a much bigger swing with its story and scope. To date, Peele\u2019s most recent movie is 2022\u2019s <em>Nope<\/em>, a rather unsettling alien creature feature about messing with nature. All of his movies are divisive in the best ways. We really can\u2019t wait for movie number four.<\/p>\n<p class=\"mb-4 text-lg md:leading-8 break-words\">Since <em>Get Out<\/em>, Peele and his Monkeypaw Productions have produced a number projects, usually in the horror or fantasy space. For television, these have included <em>The Twilight Zone<\/em> reboot (which Peele hosted), <em>Lovecraft Country<\/em>, and <em>Hunters<\/em>. Films have included <em>Candyman<\/em>, <em>Wendell &amp; Wild<\/em>, and <em>Monkey Man<\/em>.<\/p>\n<p class=\"mb-4 text-lg md:leading-8 break-words\"><em>Kyle Anderson is the Senior Editor for Nerdist.
