'Us': Release date, plot, cast, trailer, news and everything else about Jordan Pele's upcoming thriller

Inspired by the ‘Twilight Zone’ episode ‘Mirror Image,’ Jordan Peele's upcoming horror/thriller 'Us' stars Lupita Nyong'o, Elisabeth Moss and Winston Duke
UPDATED MAR 8, 2019

After the resounding success of his first film ‘Get Out,’ Jordan Peele is back with another psychological horror film titled 'Us'. The film was written and directed by Peele himself and takes inspiration from 'The Twilight Zone' episode 'Mirror Image'.

Peele took about one year to develop the script which involved six months of conceiving and working on it mentally before penning it all down.

'Us', a Monkeypaw Productions project co-produced by Blumhouse, had its world premiere at the South by Southwest film conference on March 8. The film was made for a mere $20 million, which in the 100 million and $200 million blockbusters era is pretty impressive, especially for a project that millions are excited about.
