On Monday, Universal Pictures announced a release date for the “Untitled Jordan Peele Project” to hit theaters on March 15, 2019, which will arrive just about two years after the release of his sleeper hit-slash-cultural touchpoint “Get Out.” The new film could be the first of four more “social thrillers” from the red-hot writer-director and “Key and Peele” alum. At a Blu-ray event for “Get Out” held on the Universal lot earlier this month, Peele teased — or “approached teasing” — his next film to Yahoo Movies. (“I can’t do any hardcore teasing,” he cracked.) In short: Don’t expect a “Get Out” rehash*. “It will not be in a similar vein [to ‘Get Out’], it will be a very different movie,” he said. “It’ll be a very different project. Where it will overlap is the fact that it will be a thriller and have what I think is a real social message.” “And of course I love the Easter egg hunt. So there’ll be similarities. But if you’re looking for ‘Get Out 2,’ this will be a very, very different movie.” “Get Out“ was applauded* by critics and audiences for being a tense and creepy* horror film that simultaneously delivered subversive and pointed commentary* about race relations in America. It also contained countless Easter eggs in the form of foreshadowing* hints and hidden historical and cultural references. As for “Get Out 2,” though, there’s still a chance of that happening too.
