The movie is directed and produced by Jordan Peele. He became the first Black filmmaker who won an Oscar. On the other hand, he won an Oscar for the best original screenplay. He was initially a comedian, but then became a director and directed many critically acclaimed movies like Us, Get Out, etc.

The movie is creating a lot of buzz with its trailer release. While filmmakers try to give sneak peeks at all the best scenes of the movie in the trailer, Nope makers are trying a new approach.
