Jordan Peele to direct ‘Get Out’ follow-up

Comedian turned filmmaker Jordan Peele is following up the remarkable success of Get Out with a provocative original thriller set for release in March 2019.

Universal Pictures announced the release date for Peele’s untitled film on Monday.

Peele’s buzzy directorial debut Get Out became a box office phenomenon this year grossing $229.6 million (Dh843 million) worldwide on a production budget of only $4.5 million.

Universal Pictures distributed Get Out and has since set a first look deal with Peele and his Monkeypaw Productions.
