In Universal Pictures’ “Get Out,” a speculative thriller from Blumhouse (producers of “The Visit,” the “Insidious” series and “The Gift”) and the mind of Jordan Peele, when a young African-American man visits his white girlfriend’s family estate, he becomes ensnared in a more sinister real reason for the invitation.
Now that Chris (Daniel Kaluuya, “Sicario”) and his girlfriend, Rose (Allison Williams, “Girls”), have reached the meet-the-parents milestone of dating, she invites him for a weekend getaway upstate with Missy (Catherine Keener, “Captain Phillips”) and Dean (Bradley Whitford, “The Cabin in the Woods”).
At first, Chris reads the family’s overly accommodating behavior as nervous attempts to deal with their daughter’s interracial relationship, but as the weekend progresses, a series of increasingly disturbing discoveries lead him to a truth that he could have never imagined.
Equal parts gripping thriller and provocative commentary, “Get Out” is written and directed by Peele (“Key and Peele”) and produced by Blumhouse’s Jason Blum, as well as Sean McKittrick (“Donnie Darko,” “The Box”), Peele and Edward H. Hamm Jr. (“The Box,” “Bad Words”). The film also stars Caleb Landry Jones (“X-Men” series), Milton “Lil Rel” Howery (“The Carmichael Show”), Betty Gabriel (“The Purge: Election Year”), Marcus Henderson (“Pete’s Dragon”) and Keith Stanfield (“Straight Outta Compton”).
“Get Out” hits theaters February, 2017
