Jordan Peele’s next movie pulled from 2024 release calendar

The horror filmmaker’s fourth film was previously scheduled to release next Christmas.

Fans will have to wait a little longer for Jordan Peele’s next movie.

EW has learned that the fourth film from the Oscar-winning director is no longer scheduled for a Christmas 2024 release. The move was strike-related.

However, horror fans will still get to enjoy a new macabre project from an acclaimed young auteur next holiday season, as Robert Eggers’ Nosferatu is set to release Dec. 25, 2024. The remake of F.W. Murnau’s timeless 1922 vampire film stars Bill Skarsgård, Nicholas Hoult, Lily-Rose Depp, Aaron Taylor-Johnson, Emma Corrin, and Willem Dafoe.

Peele was recently announced as a collaborator on the mysterious upcoming video game project OD from Hideo Kojima (Metal Gear Solid, Death Stranding). The project, which features actors like Sophia Lillis and Hunter Schafer, will blur the lines between gaming and cinema. “It is a game, don’t get me wrong, but it’s at the same time a movie, but the same time a new form of media,” Kojima said at The Game Awards earlier this month. “I grew up watching movies, and I’m a game creator now. Jordan grew up playing games, and he’s a movie director now. So this collaboration will be really awesome.”

Peele’s three directorial features — 2017’s Get Out, 2019’s Us, and 2022’s Nope — have earned over $600 million around the world, signifying that the comedian-turned-filmmaker has become one of the few directors in Hollywood whose name alone can draw audiences to the box office. He won the Academy Award for Best Original Screenplay for Get Out in 2018.

Peele has previously teased expanding the universe of Nope in future projects. "We're not over telling all of these stories," he said last year. “The story of [Michael Busch’s] character has yet to be told, I can tell you that. Which is another frustrating way of saying, I'm glad people are paying attention. I do think they will get more answers on some of these things in the future.”
