Warning: This story contains spoilers for Nope. Several of them.
Jordan Peele's just-released horror film Nope is, like the writer-director's previous films Get Out and Us, a fright-filled thrill-ride but one that leaves you with some questions. (And how nice it is to get a summer blockbuster that makes us think a little.) Below, our stabs at answers to the queries that are no doubt clouding your mind.
What is Nope really all about?
On the surface, Peele's film is the tale of a UFO which turns out to be a flying, carnivorous monster. The movie's main characters, sibling duo OJ (Daniel Kaluuya) and Emerald (Keke Palmer), risk their lives attempting to grab footage of it, not only for the sake of history but because their horse ranch, Haywood's Hollywood Horses, is failing and they need the money that such a discovery would fetch.
But the film is also a nuanced exploration of how the media, in particular Hollywood, exploits minorities, erasing the contributions of the underprivileged, dating all the way back to Eadweard Muybridge's groundbreaking 1878 photography of a Black jockey galloping (one of the earliest examples of motion pictures). He's the first ever "movie star" repeatedly referenced in the film. Is that jockey nameless? No more: Now he has an extended family of descendants, including OJ and Emerald.
"I'm most proud in how we addressed this acknowledgement of the first actor, right?" Peele recently told EW. "The jockey that was in the clip that no one knows. In a lot of ways, this film is the sequel to that, the sequel that was needed, the reboot of that original film in which we acknowledge the erasure, we acknowledge the exploitation. We let it lie there, and then we go make the best f---ing crazy adventure alien movie with Black people and Black voices."

What's up with all the Gordy stuff?
In the course of Nope, we discover that Steven Yeun's character, the tourist-attraction-owning Ricky "Jupe" Park, was a famous child actor, the cute star of the fictional Kid Sheriff who then joined a sitcom about a family whose members include a chimpanzee named Gordy. In an extended flashback scene, Peele shows us how the animal went berserk on set, attacking cast members. While the sequence is terrifying and on point with regard to the director's theme of media exploitation (Jupe's rising career was suddenly kaput), the scene also seems divorced from the main plot.
So why did Peele include it? According to the director, he deliberately wanted to unsettle audiences by featuring a sequence which was both brutal and seemingly far removed from the UFO-oriented action. "I think it's a moment that I knew would sort of hit audiences in the back of the head with a bag of sand," Peele told Sean Fennessey, host of the Big Picture podcast. "But it's one of these moments in a movie where you're just like, wait a second, what am I watching, where are we, how did we get here? And to sandwich that in this big, epic, fun blockbuster."
Is that a real chimp?
Nope. Gordy is a CGI creation based on the performance of actor Terry Notary, who specializes in portraying animals and creatures. Notary's credits include 2017's Kong: Skull Island, War for the Planet of the Apes, and the live-action remake of The Lion King. The sets and props featured in the shots with Gordy were built 30 percent larger-than-life to accommodate Notary's larger-than-chimp dimensions. Ironically (though worth mentioning), for a movie about animal wranglers in danger of losing their legacy, Nope leans heavily on digital effects, no doubt for reasons of safety.
And who is that creepy woman behind the veil?
Sitting in a wheelchair at one of Jupe's Western family shows, she's identified as Mary Jo Elliott (Sophia Coto), the actress who played his step-sister on the ill-fated Gordy's Home. (Sweetly, Jupe calls her his "first crush.") In the movie's flashback, we see her as a smiling blond girl, the one who opens the box of balloons that spook the chimp. It's one of Nope's more punishing moments to realize that she survived the attack, though her face (what little we see of it) is ruined. The grown-up Mary Jo is wearing a T-shirt of her younger visage — so beyond sad — and she also has a prosthetic hand. Still a mystery: Why would she want to see Jupe after all these years? She may be trying to reclaim some sort of power over the elements. She's another clue to Peele deeper theme of Hollywood exploitation: a character who is literally chewed up and spat out by the industry.

Who plays the director in the beginning? He looks vaguely familiar.
Peele, who never casts actors without intent, buries a lot of connections to horror history in Nope's incidental roles. The brusque director seen in an early sequence is played by Osgood Perkins, a real writer-director of indie renown (I Am the Pretty Thing That Lives in the House), and an actor in Legally Blonde. He's also the son of Psycho's Anthony Perkins. (They share the same gangly frame.) The famous actress on his set, Bonnie, is played by Donna Mills, perhaps best known to general audiences for her stints on Knots Landing and General Hospital, but no doubt known to Peele for her role in Clint Eastwood's unsettling 1971 stalker thriller Play Misty for Me. And the dignified dad on a horse? He's the legendary Keith David, an iconic presence in John Carpenter's The Thing and They Live, two sociopolitically sharp horror movies that Peele clearly loves.
Is Fry's Electronics an actual store?
Yes. Or, more accurately, it was a real store: The Bay Area big-box chain which employs Brandon Perea's character, Angel, was founded in 1985 and at one point boasted dozens of stores, but shuttered in February 2021. The good news? That means there should be an abundance of Fry's Electronics shirts floating around for those who want an authentic, and easy, Halloween costume come this October. And speaking of costumes…
Can you buy a Scorpion King hoodie?
In Nope, OJ wears an orange crew hoodie from The Scorpion King, the 2002 Dwayne Johnson-starring Mummy spin-off, and the first film on which Kaluuya's character worked with his late father. Sadly, at the time of writing, it is not possible to purchase this item on eBay, although you can buy vintage orange Scorpion King promo tees.

Why does Nope look and feel so majestic, visually?
So many movies are presented to us in fake IMAX ("Lie-MAX," it's called), stretched out and poorly mixed. Nope, though, was actually conceived and shot on large-format IMAX cameras, and the effort pays off. Notably, it's the first horror movie ever filmed in IMAX (that seems like a missed opportunity, Hollywood), and its genius cinematographer, Hoyte van Hoytema, has much big-screen experience with the format, having captured Interstellar, Dunkirk, Tenet, and the forthcoming Oppenheimer, all for Christopher Nolan.
Nope is also something of a neo-sci-fi-Western, if you'll indulge the comparison: desert canyons, horses, grand vistas, undercurrents of redemption and territorial ownership. Peele agrees with the idea that his film is a corrective to the typical Hollywood oater; Nope has the feel of a huge Western, the most American of genres, frequently loaded with subtext.
Finally, can you explain that ending to us?
We'll try: OJ, Emerald, Angel and gravel-voiced cinematographer Antlers Holst (Michael Wincott) have banded together to try to lure the alien into the open and film it with a special non-electrical camera. OJ rides out on a horse as bait, but the plan is only partly successful, as Antlers and his footage are consumed by the alien. Emerald motorcycles out to the deserted Jupiter's Claim, where she feeds coins into a photo attraction mounted in the bottom of a well. Releasing a large inflated balloon of Jupe's "Kid Sheriff" skyward, she takes several still photos (echoes of Muybridge from the the beginning) until the alien absorbs the helium-inflated balloon and it explodes, presumably killing the creature as well. Emerald gets her shot just before the explosion.

What You Can and Can’t See in Nope
“A true point of view is where you just see enough but are yearning to see more,” says the film’s cinematographer on three key visual choices.

What You Can and Can’t See in Nope
By Roxana Hadadi@roxana_hadadi

This article was featured in One Great Story, New York’s reading recommendation newsletter. Sign up here to get it nightly.
Jordan Peele’s new horror-comedy, Nope, stars Daniel Kaluuya and Keke Palmer as Otis Jr. and Emerald, the sibling proprietors of Haywood’s Hollywood Horses. As they attempt to capture video evidence of a mysterious being attacking their ranch from the clouds, Nope stretches out like a camera’s bellows to the wide-open landscapes and cyclone-filled sky in a way that recalls The Wizard of Oz. OJ and Em team up with a cinematographer named Antlers Holst (Michael Wincott) to nab footage of the alien using a hand-cranked IMAX camera the Nope crew referred to as “Dorothy.” During filming, Wincott shadowed the film’s own cinematographer, Hoyte van Hoytema, to study up on his role (and even ended up wearing one of his scarves in the film). “Photography, or how we photograph things, and the chemistry of photography, is a very big theme in the film,” says van Hoytema, who broke down a few key scenes that play with the idea of how much we’re able to see.
The Nights
Much of Nope takes place at night, when the Haywood siblings realize that their horses are being hunted and their house targeted. An early scene follows Kaluuya’s OJ as he investigates lights left on in the ranch’s barn, while another horrifying sequence mid-film involves the house being drenched in blood as a thunderstorm rages.

The shots I’m particularly proud of are the exterior nights. We wanted specific things from them. Night shoots are always hard to achieve so a lot of engineering went into coming up with technology that would enable us to do things that normally wouldn’t have been possible. In a conventional horror film, the horror is very often in what you can’t see. And at the same time, it is that idea of something threatening being present in a very big expanse. When you think about Jaws, the sea is so wide open and the danger can come from everywhere. That danger is extremely concrete. The spaciality, the expanse of it, makes it terrifying in many ways. Jordan wants to do a very similar thing but with the sky. The sky is all around us, so it’s a very big space where danger can be, live in, or can come from.
The way Nope’s terror unraveled, we would treat nights and days kind of the same. Neither is a safe haven for our main heroes. Now, for the nights, it’s very difficult, because especially when you’re out in a valley, for instance, or where there’s hardly any photographable light. So you’re very dependent on using film lighting. And film lighting, once you start lighting a scene at night, the pools of light you can create become very limited. Your space only exists within what you’re lighting up, and the rest is just darkness. It’s a void, in a way. What we wanted to do was to create nights that were very vast. Especially in the beginning, in the scenes where OJ goes out alone, looks around, and feels the presence of something. Then he sees something. And then we, as an audience, can just about make out what he would be able to just about make out. We wanted to be suggestive, but we also wanted to give the audience the same level of experience as he would have had. You can actually see through the night. And once you are standing in the darkness long enough, your pupils dilating, you can make out the mountain ridges, the clouds in the night sky, and the stars behind it. You start to see the glow of the city in the distance and all these kinds of things.
The Kid’s-Eye View
Steven Yeun plays Jupe, a former child actor who witnessed a horrific chimpanzee attack on a sitcom set. As an adult, he lives next to the Haywoods and runs a western-themed amusement park. Nope recurrently visits that gruesome disaster, aligning our perspective with that of young Jupe (Jacob Kim) as he hides under a table and focuses on a woman’s shoe that seemingly defies gravity by standing straight up.

Even on script level, Jordan has specific things that are very important for him. He very clearly either has seen something or wants to force the audience to see things a certain way. And sometimes what you see is very odd. At the same time, when you’re building a scene that is religiously shot from the point of view of one child, you have to come up with a perspective of how a child would see things. I don’t think there’s anything strange about witnessing a horror like that and then zeroing in on strange details. I was thinking exactly about that when I saw video of the Uvalde school shooting the other day. The cops that were outside—there was some surveillance video, and one cop went to a pump with hand sanitizer. And when it all was going on, he was sanitizing his hands. It’s always these weird details you pick up on in traumatic situations. The weirdness or the mundanity of it confirms the true terror of a specific moment. For me, it was very important that everything felt like it could have been Jupe’s point of view. When you film a point of view, you’re usually very loyal towards the angles. When you fixate more, you sometimes go to a lower lens—you don’t want to go too long. You find the right focal length that feels a little bit like how a person would fixate a little more. That’s why that shot stands out. That shot is madness, and we wanted that little element to feel like it was part of that madness.
The Black Cowboy
As the descendants of the Black horse jockey who was captured in Eadweard Muybridge’s photographs that became one of cinema’s earliest moving -images, Nope’s Haywood family is simultaneously proud of their decades in Hollywood and frustrated by the racist microaggressions they still experience on the job. In the film’s final shot, OJ is framed as a western hero, visible through wispy fog and situated under an “Out Yonder” sign.

That shot wants to feel a little bit like, not a film cliché, but it wanted to have some sort of classic Hollywood drama to it. There were some shots I really loved that I used as a reference for those from a film from 1980, Heaven’s Gate, of horses in the dust and the dust revealing what needed to be seen. You want these things to feel a certain way, but there’s not always a pure, intellectual explanation to it. It’s not just a wink to the old westerns, but it’s also about creating mystery. Here, you’re in Em’s point of view. You want to imagine it the way that she experiences it. It just felt right to shoot it from afar and to not go any closer, to have a little openness. And to not let the fog clear out. A true point of view is where you just see enough but are yearning to see more. We do a few tricks in the film that should work very subconsciously. When you peer through the night, nights slowly get brighter and you start to see exactly what you need to see. Because you start to see more, you actually get the idea that you see much more, and that by your effort, you actually enable yourself to reach further with your gaze. There’s this interesting play on point of view, and what a point of view is, and what a satisfaction it is to actually be able to see. That is very much the theme of Nope itself.

Daniel Kaluuya Responds After Learning About Logan Paul's Critical Review Of Nope
By Caroline Young published about 5 hours ago
Logan Paul didn't mince words.
Logan Paul posted about Nope on Twitter shortly after the film's release last month. While he praised Daniel Kaluuya as an actor, he took issue with the story structure and tone, among other things. When Capital FM asked Kaluuya about Paul's opinions on the horror hit of the summer, the actor said that he didn’t think it should be taken too seriously:
In other words, the Get Out alum doesn’t understand why the social media star's opinion is being highlighted more than those of others. Dozens of critics have covered the film, so why is the YouTuber's review the one that stands out? One can honestly see where the star is coming from. After all, Logan Paul is known for his YouTube videos and boxing matches, not for his film criticism. And more recently, Paul even made an impression at
Later in the conversation, Daniel Kaluuya even considered sitting down with the viral star to talk about the movie. However, he soon backed off the notion:
Well, I don’t think we're going to see Daniel Kaluuya on the social media maven's podcast, ImPaulsive, anytime soon. That’s probably for the best, celebrity guests don’t have a reputation for putting their best foot forward on the show. Maybe these two could break bread in a different way. A boxing match, perhaps? (I’m taking bets now.)
It doesn’t look like Logan Paul’s scathing review is having much of an effect on Nope’s box office success, though as it's become a hit an instant box office hit. With such glowing reception, Paul faced a lot of backlash from fans online. Many pointed out that the Youtube star just didn't understand the film, which Logan Paul admitted to in his review. Thankfully, CinemaBlend has broken down the ending of Nope, for him and others to read when they're ready.
If you want to see for yourself to see if you agree with Logan Paul or some of the glowing critic reviews of Jordan Peele’s Nope, you can check out the film in theaters now. Or, if you want to know about any of the other films that are releasing this year, check out our 2022 movie schedule. Chances are Paul will have strong opinions on them as well.
