Universal Pictures has released the trailer to their next horror thriller, Us<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

After sending shockwaves across contemporary culture and setting a new standard for provocative, socially-conscious horror films with his directorial debut, Get Out, Academy Award\u00ae-winning visionary Jordan Peele<\/strong> returns with another original nightmare that he has written, directed and produced.<\/p>\n

Set in present day along the iconic Northern California coastline, Us<\/strong>, from Monkeypaw Productions, stars Oscar\u00ae winner Lupita Nyong\u2019o<\/strong> as Adelaide Wilson, a woman returning to her beachside childhood home with her husband, Gabe (Black Panther\u2019s Winston Duke<\/strong>), and their two children (Shahadi Wright Joseph, Evan Alex<\/strong>) for an idyllic summer getaway.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Haunted by an unexplainable and unresolved trauma from her past and compounded by a string of eerie coincidences, Adelaide feels her paranoia elevate to high-alert as she grows increasingly certain that something bad is going to befall her family.<\/p>\n

After spending a tense beach day with their friends, the Tylers (Emmy winner Elisabeth Moss, Tim Heidecker, Cali Sheldon, Noelle Sheldon<\/strong>), Adelaide and her family return to their vacation home. When darkness falls, the Wilsons discover the silhouette of four figures holding hands as they stand in the driveway. Us pits an endearing American family against a terrifying and uncanny opponent: doppelg\u00e4ngers of themselves.<\/p>\n

Rounding out the cast are Yahya Abdul-Mateen II and Anna Diop<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

\u201cI dedicated a lot of myself to creating a new horror mythology and a new monster. I think stories about monsters are one of our best ways of getting at deeper truths & facing our fears as a society. It\u2019s important to note that this movie, unlike GET OUT, is not about race. Instead it\u2019s about something I feel has become an undeniable truth – that is the simple fact that we are our own worst enemies.\u201d<\/strong> – Jordan Peele<\/p>\n

Writer and director Peele produces for his Monkeypaw Productions alongside Sean McKittrick, Jason Blum<\/strong>, and Monkeypaw\u2019s Ian Cooper<\/strong>. Us will be released by Universal Pictures on Friday, March 15, 2019.<\/strong><\/p>\n
