According to The Hollywood Reporter, Lupita Nyong’o, Elisabeth Moss, and Winston Duke are in talks to star in Us, which will be written and directed by Academy Award winner Jordan Peele (Get Out).
Initially known as “Untitled Jordan Peele Project,” Universal Pictures will release the film in theaters on Friday, March 15, 2019.
Details are being kept deep in suburbia, but the pic is said to center on two couples, one white, one black. If a deal is made, Duke and Nyong’o would play one couple, while Moss would play part of the other couple.
Peele is also producing via his Monkeypaw Productions alongside Sean McKittrick and Jason Blum. Also producing is Monkeypaw’s Ian Cooper.
Nyong’o, who won an Oscar for her work in 12 Years a Slave, was last seen in Marvel’s Black Panther. She is set to star opposite Viola Davis in TriStar’s The Woman King and is attached to star in the feature adaptation of Trevor Noah’s best-selling humor biography.
Duke appeared on a handful of TV shows such as Person of Interest and Modern Family before landing the role of M’Baku in Black Panther. Duke also appeared in Avenger: Infinity War.
Moss, who is currently starring on season two of the acclaimed Hulu serles The Handmaid’s Tale, is shooting Her Smell for Alex Ross Perry, then will shoot The Kitchen, with Melissa McCarthy and Tiffany Haddish, for New Line, before moving to Us.
