Nope

Just when you thought it was safe to go back to the movies, writer/director Jordan Peele leaps out with a new science-fiction Western horror film. Siblings OJ (Daniel Kaluuya) and Em (Keke Palmer) inherit their father’s movie-horse training ranch after his mysterious death. They’re on the brink of having to sell the farm to traumatised former child actor Jupe (Steven Yeun) when they decide to capture and sell footage of a supernatural entity for profit.

Alice

While fleeing the Bennet plantation where she’s been enslaved in rural Georgia, Alice (Keke Palmer) breaks out of the vast woods to find herself on a highway – because it’s not the 1800s, it’s 1973! A truck driver named Frank (Common) brings Alice up to speed on American history, the civil rights movement and her legal rights. After reading up on the death of the plantation system, and seeing Pam Grier in the 1973 movie Coffy, Alice decides to return to take revenge on cosplaying slave owner Paul Bennet (Johnny Lee Miller).
