'Us' director Jordan Peele says he aims to 'make my favorite' movies that don't exist yet: 'People respond to your truth.'
The movie begins with silent, shadowy figures appear in a family's driveway outside their isolated home, setting an eerie image for the film's terrifying and provocative plot.
Lupita Nyong'o and Winston Duke chats with Chris Connelly for Nightline on their roles in the horror film, "Us.""I love horror because it invokes -- a physical reaction," Peele said. "It gets a visceral reaction. It gets an audible reaction and it makes you feel first."Duke explains why he believes the films' creator Jordan Peele made racism 'the first casualty' in 'Get Out,' and the stars discuss what constructs are challenged in 'Us.
"Oftentimes, the darkness in us is something that we project onto [one] another," she added. "In this film, Jordan [Peele] makes a monster out of that darkness and shows what it would look like if that darkness came for us." The longtime comedy actor turned from comedy to psychological thrillers more than two years ago, and won an Oscar for best original screenplay with his debut film, "Get Out."
Lupita Nyong'o and Winston Duke chats with Chris Connelly for Nightline on their roles in the horror film, "Us." Nyong’o said the dual act "very tough" for her to pull off "because you never meet your scene partner." His authoritative artistry has made Peele a true player in Hollywood. He also recently helped produce Spike Lee's hit film "BlacKkKlansman," which won the Oscar for best adapted screenplay this year.
