Steph Curry stars in new Nope teaser airing during NBA playoff games ~ USA Latest Games

Jordan Peele's upcoming film Nope aims to reimagine the summer movie.

The NBA playoffs kick off today! Universal Pictures marked the occasion by dropping a new teaser for Jordan Peele's forthcoming new film, Nope, featuring eight-time NBA All-Star Steph Curry of the Golden State Warriors.

As we've reported previously, Peele has cemented his status as the current master of thought-provoking horror, starting with Get Out, his surprise box office hit that earned more than $250 million and snagged Peele an Oscar for best original screenplay—the first time the award has gone to a Black recipient. Get Out is a subtle exploration of racial tensions that quietly reveals its horrifying premise and builds to an inevitably bloody conclusion. In Peele's 2019 follow-up, Us, the theme wasn't so much racial tension—it was exploring, in Peele's words, the myriad ways in which "we are our own worst enemies."

The first trailer dropped in February—very moody and atmospheric but offering very few details. (There might be aliens involved, or Peele wants us to think there are as a bit of misdirection.) Trailers for Peele's films never reveal too much, since much of the pleasure of his movies comes from their frequently bizarre twists.
