We never got to see Ross and Rachel's daughter, Emma, fully grow up on Friends, but we're happy to confirm that, as a real-life teenager, she has perfect comedic timing. Noelle Sheldon - who played the infant on the show along with her twin sister, Cali, back in seasons nine and ten - kicked off the new decade earlier this week by hilariously responding to an old joke Chandler made about the year 2020 in an episode from season 10.

"Just woke up from the best nap of all time, happy 2020!! (ft. my poorly done photoshop)," the 17-year-old captioned a selfie of herself holding a Central Perk coffee cup. "Hope everyone has an excellent year full of family, friends, and laughter!!"

The joke Sheldon is referencing in her caption is from the Friends episode that aired on Oct.

Cast members from Universal Pictures’ blockbuster Us, including Evan Alex, Madison Curry, Shahadi Wright Joseph, and Noelle Sheldon, come face-to-face with the terror of “The Tethered” in the all-new maze at Universal Studios’ Halloween Horror Nights. Experience the dread for yourself by playing the video embedded at the top of the article! Featuring the unnerving […]

The post Video: The Cast of Jordan Peele’s Us Experience the Terror of “The Tethered” in New Maze at Halloween Horror Nights appeared first on Dread Central.

One of the most anticipated horror movies this year was Jordan Peele’s follow-up to ‘Get Out’, ‘Us’ lead by Lupita Nyong’o and Winston Duke. Not only did it win over the internet but horror fans and critics alike gave the film a fresh Rotten Tomatoes score. With the film now available to own, Director Jordan Peele and star Winston Duke unravel the detail in the making of the film.

Written and directed by Peele, ‘Us’ is set in the present day and follows Adelaide and Gabe Wilson (Lupita Nyong’o and Winston Duke) as they take their kids to Adelaide’s old childhood beachside home in Northern California for the summer. After a day at the beach with the Tyler family (which includes Elisabeth Moss and Tim Heidecker), Adelaide — who’s haunted by a lingering trauma from her past — becomes increasingly more paranoid that something...

The One Where We Discovered Emma Geller-Green Is a Twin. Can you believe it's been almost 17 years since the birth of baby Emma? On the season eight finale of Friends in May 2002, the world watched as Rachel (Jennifer Aniston) and Ross (David Schwimmer) welcomed their baby girl, Emma. In later seasons, Ross and Rachel's young daughter was portrayed by twins Cali Sheldon and Noelle Sheldon. Just like with Mary-Kate Olsen and Ashley Olsen in Full House, many shows will hire twin actors to play the role of a young child for filming purposes. The twins appeared on about eight episodes of the series from 2003 to 2004 before Friends came to an end. Since that time, the Sheldon twins, who are now...

Not that anyone expected it, but Jordan Peele did not suffer a sophomore slump here. After making a highly praised and Oscar winning debut with Get Out, he’s back with another horror outing in Us. The success of the former was no fluke, ladies in gentlemen, as the latter is the real deal. At the same time, can a film be wildly overpraised and also be rather terrific? In this case, that’s what I found Us to be. Despite not sticking the landing, Peele shows us he’s an emerging genre master. The Academy Award chatter can wait for another day, but hitting release today, Us is a jolt of thought provoking horror. Us is a horror/thriller, though one with a lot on its mind. After an introduction to Adelaide Wilson as a child during a formative moment, we meet her again in the present day. Adelaide...

Stars: Lupita Nyong’o, Winston Duke, Elisabeth Moss, Tim Heidecker, Shahadi Wright Joseph, Evan Alex, Yahya Abdul-Mateen II, Anna Diop, Cali Sheldon, Noelle Sheldon, Madison Curry, Ashley Mckoy, Napiera Groves, Lon Gowan | Written and Directed by Jordan Peele

Us is Jordan Peele’s second directorial feature after his highly successful and critical acclaimed Academy Award-winning directorial debut Get Out released in 2016. His latest, and miraculously only second, directing effort undoubtedly cements Peele as a true horror connoisseur in the same vein as Alfred Hitchcock, but to compare the two would be a travesty to the ever-evolving talents of Peele. His latest is a perfect combination of filmmaker evolution and understanding of the genre that he crafts so well, with a screenplay from the writer/director that is outrageously effective with leading actress Lupita Nyong’o putting in possibly the best performance we’ll be honoured to see this year, as...

"This is an intense and all-consuming film to be a part of." After taking viewers into the Sunken Place in Get Out, Jordan Peele will show viewers that we are our own worst enemies in Us, and the cast of the film discusses what it was like to work with Peele in a new featurette that includes behind-the-scenes footage from the making of the film.

Written and directed by Peele, Us stars Lupita Nyong’o, Elisabeth Moss, Winston Duke, Yahya Abdul-Mateen II, Tim Heidecker, Anna Diop, Shahadi Wright Joseph, Madison Curry, Evan Alex, Cali Sheldon, and Noelle Sheldon. Universal Pictures will release Us in theaters on March 22nd.

Check out the new featurette below, and in case you missed it, go here to read Heather Wixson's five-star SXSW review of Us.

Synopsis: "A mother and a father (Winston Duke from Black Panther) take their kids to their beach house...

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®-winning visionary Jordan Peele returns with another original nightmare that he has written, directed and produced.

Set in present day along the iconic Northern California coastline, Us, from Monkeypaw Productions, stars Oscar® winner Lupita Nyong’o as Adelaide Wilson, a woman returning to her beachside childhood home with her husband, Gabe (Black Panther’s Winston Duke), and their two children for an idyllic summer getaway.

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.

After spending a tense beach day with their friends, the Tylers, Adelaide and her family return to their vacation home to discover...

“Us,” Jordan Peele’s second outing as a director, following his 2017 critical and box office success “Get Out,” revisits similar psychological horror-thriller territory. But this time the stakes are, well, doubled.

In the new film, to be released by Universal on March 21, Adelaide Wilson, played by Lupita Nyong’o, returns to her childhood beachside home with her husband (Winston Duke) and their two children (Shahadi Wright Joseph and Evan Alex). Suddenly they find themselves clawing to stay alive, as four people who look just like them seem hell-bent on killing them.

The main challenge for the film’s below-the-line team was to keep the story grounded in realism while escalating the horror — and keeping the characters and their doppelgängers well defined.

For production designer Ruth De Jong, “Us” represented a collision of two worlds she previously created: the tragic reality of “Manchester by the Sea” and the strange uneasiness of “Twin Peaks.

Jordan Peele’s new horror thriller Us recently had its big premiere at SXSW and audiences and critics have been praising the hell out of it. I haven’t seen or heard anything bad about this movie yet so it looks like Peele will once again deliver the goods.

We’ve got two new clips from the movie to share with you today. The first is called “Gabe Retreats Online” and it features Winston Duke’s Gabe trying to scare the intruders away, but things don’t go the way he hopes.

The second clip is called "Adelaide Tries to Explain Her Fear" and in it Lupita Nyong’o is trying to explain her feelings regarding a strange increase of coincidences in her life.

Set in present day along the iconic Northern California coastline, Us, from Monkeypaw Productions, stars Oscar® winner Lupita Nyong’o as Adelaide Wilson, a woman returning...

Where do I even begin? There are a lot of great horror movies that have been announced for 2019 that I have been supremely excited for, but admittedly, my most anticipated movie of this year was Jordan Peele’s Us. With the astounding (and much-deserved success) of Get Out in 2017, I was eager to see what Peele would bring to the table for his sophomore directorial effort, and with Us, he does not disappoint. A densely packed thriller that wastes no time establishing the unsettling events that Peele unleashes here, purposefully utilizing every single frame of film, each cinematic bread crumb that Peele drops for viewers early on perfectly leads towards the film’s stunning finale that will undoubtedly leave horror fans with tons of material to discuss and ponder for years to come.

But make no mistake—as far as truly great genre storytelling goes, Peele has quickly established himself...

It's been well over a year since Jordan Peele made his directorial debut with the critically acclaimed horror flick Get Out, and fans of the Oscar-winning director are hungry for more of his work. Peele has been committed to giving them exactly that - the filmmaker has multiple projects in progress, including a reboot of The Twilight Zone, producing a new HBO series, and a role in Toy Story 4.

The one project we've been on our toes waiting for is Peele's first feature since Get Out, "a new nightmare" simply titled Us. Peele announced the project in May 2018 by dropping the movie poster and release date on Twitter, with the star-studded cast confirmations - Lupita Nyong'o, Elisabeth Moss - following soon after. When Peele finally dropped the terrifying film trailer on Christmas Day 2018, fans were hooked.

Jordan Peele’s second movie, Us, landed on tracking this morning, and projections are pointing toward a $35 million opening, with the potential to hit $40M.

That’s just above the $33.3M to which Peele’s previous $4.5M-budgeted horror thriller Get Out opened, before turning around a 5.3x multiple of $176M stateside ($255.4M worldwide), earning four Oscar nominations including Best Picture and a win for Peele’s Original Screenplay.

In Us, from Universal and Monkeypaw, a family’s serenity turns to chaos when a group of doppelgängers begin to terrorize them. Lupita Nyong’o, Winston Duke, Shahadi Wright Joseph, Evan Alex, Elisabeth Moss, Tim Heidecker, Cali Sheldon and Noelle Sheldon star.

Regardless of who wins the Super Bowl, Jordan Peele fans scored big as the second trailer for the director’s upcoming horror flick, “Us,” has just been released.

“You know how sometimes things line up?” Lupita Nyong’o’s character asks in the spot. “Coincidences? Since we’ve been up here, they’ve been happening more and more. It’s like there’s this black cloud hanging over us.”

“Us” centers on Adelaide and Gabe Wilson (Lupita Nyong’o and Winston Duke) as they take their kids to Adelaide’s childhood home in Northern California for the summer. They unwind with their friends (Elisabeth Moss and Tim Heidecker), but Adelaide, still haunted by a past trauma, becomes paranoid that something is about to hurt her family.

Rod Serling’s The Twilight Zone has inspired countless stories and films over the years. So many people have borrowed from that classic series for their own purposes. Even Jordan Peele’s upcoming horror movie Us, was inspired by it!

With Peele also producing the upcoming Twilight Zone revival series, it makes sense that he would want to talk about the series and connect it to Us. While talking with Rolling Stone, Peele said that Us was inspired by one of his favorite The Twilight Zone episodes titled “Mirror Image.”

The episode starred actress Vera Miles, and it tells the story of a young career woman named Miss Barnes. While waiting for the bus, she encounters a woman that looks exactly like her and she becomes convinced that her doppelgänger is an evil entity from a parallel universe who’s out to eliminate and replace her.

When talking about the episode,...

After taking viewers into the Sunken Place in Get Out last year, Jordan Peele's highly anticipated follow-up, Us, will make its world premiere at the South by Southwest film festival on March 8th, and while it was originally slated to come out in theaters on March 15th, viewers outside of SXSW will now have to wait just a bit longer to see it on the big screen.

As reported by multiple sources and confirmed on the official Twitter account for Us, the next movie from Jordan Peele has been pushed back one week to March 22nd. From the looks of the previously released trailer (see below), though, the extra week should be well worth the wait, and we'll be sure to keep Daily Dead readers updated on any further details regarding Us.

Universal will now take Jordan Peele’s horror film Us out a week later on March 22, instead of the originally planned March 15.

The move comes in the wake of the pic making its World Premiere at SXSW in the opening night slot of March 8. Much like Get Out spurred hot buzz off its secret Sundance screening in 2017, the plan here is to do the same with Us. Furthermore, the pic’s trailer, after dropping on Christmas Day, has been earning solid traffic with 10.5M views on YouTube and 9.4M on Facebook. All in, the pic’s trailer is just shy of 20M on official outlets for Universal per social media monitor RelishMix.

After spending a tense beach day with their friends, the Tylers, Adelaide and her family return to their vacation home to discover the silhouettes of four figures standing in their driveway. Us pits an ordinary American family against a terrifying and uncanny opponent: doppelgängers of themselves.

Peele produced, wrote and directed Us under his Monkeypaw Productions alongside Monkeypaw creative director Ian Cooper. Also producing are Sean McKittrick and Jason Blum.

Get Out received four Oscar noms, including best picture, with Peele winning best original screenplay. Off a $4.5M production budget, Get Out amassed over $255M Ww at the box office.

Last year, John Krasinski's A Quiet Place made a big, scary splash in its world premiere as the opening night film at South by Southwest 2018. This year, the Austin cinematic celebration's opening night film will once again be a world premiere of one of the most anticipated horror movies of the year: Jordan Peele's Us.

Jordan Peele’s next horror thriller Us is making its world premiere at South by Southwest in Austin, TX on Friday March 8 as the fest’s opening night movie.

Last year, Paramount launched A Quiet Place at SXSW to great fanfare and generating heat that ultimately fueled its way to $340.6M at the global box office and a number of nominations this awards season.

Us, which Peele also wrote, will be released by Universal Pictures on Friday, March 15, 2019. When it came to his feature 2017 directorial debut Get Out, Peele debuted the pic at Sundance as their secret screening.

Oscar-winning filmmaker Jordan Peele is a studio moneymaker — his feature directorial debut, “Get Out,” made over $250 million in worldwide receipts for Universal Pictures — but Peele still seems to believe in the power of some solid festival buzz. He notably debuted “Get Out” as a secret screening at Sundance in 2017, just weeks before it hit theaters, and his much-anticipated followup will follow a similar route. “Us,” starring Lupita Nyong’o and Winston Duke, will open the 2019 SXSW Film Festival on March 8, days before its March 15 opening.

If you've unwrapped your gifts and feeling the warmth of Christmas cheer, it's time to pull up a chair and watch the first trailer for Us...and scare the crap out of yourself. Get Out firmly cemented Jordan Peele as a storyteller to keep an eye on, and I've been eager to see what his next film had to offer. Up until now, however, details on Us have been almost non-existent. Thankfully, this debut trailer not only brings some serious creep factor, but also fills in more information on the plot:

There's a Lot to unpack in this trailer. While everything seems fine and dandy at first, the appearance of these evil doppelgangers completely threw me for a loop.

Universal has dropped a Christmas Day present with the first look at Jordan Peele’s anticipated Us, the follow-up to his Oscar-nominated hit Get Out.

It opens with the Wilson family, Adelaide (Lupita Nyong’o) Gabe (Winston Duke) and their children, traveling up the Northern California coast to Adelaide’s childhood beachside home, to the strains of Luniz’s “I Got 5 On It.” We next see the family on the beach, chatting it up with the Tylers (Elisabeth Moss and Tim Heidecker) when Adelaide notices her young son has wandered off. She finds him staring at a statue-like man standing alone on the beach. (Hint that terrifying things are about to happen).

Cut to later that night when Gabe finds four people holding hands and dressed in red, staring at the house and standing silently at the bottom of their driveway. Gabe approaches with a baseball bat and a warning,...

If you didn’t get what you wanted for Christmas, here’s your second chance: the first trailer for “Us,” Jordan Peele’s highly anticipated horror film, has dropped.

Following the widespread acclaim of Peele’s 2017 film “Get Out,” Peele told EW that he wanted to create a “monster mythology.” He previously tweeted a teaser image for “Us,” featuring a pair of hands in leather gloves, clutching gold scissors. He captioned it: “Watch yourself.”

What better way to celebrate Christmas day than with a trailer for Jordan Peele’s new horror thriller Us, which actually looks pretty damn unsettling and terrifying!

This trailer actually gave me chills, and the story goes in a direction I was not expecting. The movie looks like it’s gonna be another incredible chilling horror film from Peele, and I can’t wait to watch it!

Set in present day along the iconic Northern California coastline, Us, from Monkeypaw Productions, stars Oscar® winner Lupita Nyong’o as Adelaide Wilson, a woman returning to her beachside childhood home with her husband, Gabe (Black Panther’s Winston Duke), and their two children for an idyllic summer getaway.

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.

Premiering as the secret screening at Sundance Film Festival, Jordan Peele’s directorial debut Get Out went on to be a massive critical and audience success, even earning the writer-director an Oscar. He’s now back this spring with Us. Starring Lupita Nyong’o, Winston Duke, Elisabeth Moss, and Tim Heidecker, the story follows a family trip to the beach gone wrong, as we can see in the first trailer, which has debuted on Christmas Day.

“For my second feature, I wanted to create a monster mythology,” Peele recently said. “I wanted to do something that was more firmly in the horror genre but still held on to my love of movies that are twisted but fun.” With the film only a few months away from release, one should also seek out the ten films Peele gave Nyong’o to watch in preparation of shooting: Dead Again, The Shining, The Babadook,...

After taking viewers into the Sunken Place in Get Out, Jordan Peele will explore another set of multi-layered relationships in his next movie, Us, which is further revealed in new photos and official plot details from Entertainment Weekly.
