Jordan Peele’s latest directorial outing, no, is full of mystery, symbolism and its fair share of terror. After the film’s release in July, fans immediately wanted more of the film and perhaps more explanations about what happened in California’s lonely canyon. Peele always leaves certain aspects to interpretation, as we have seen with Out and U.Sand he does the same with no.
Rumors started circulating about an extended cut after fans noticed certain scenes from the trailers that were absent from the film, resulting in speculation about a sequel or other project in the film. no universe. However, Peele mentioned the idea of continuing with the characters from the film, and now the director isn’t saying no to the possibility of an extended cut.
During an interview with Collider after a special screening of no at the Toronto International Film Festival, Peele suggested there’s plenty more to see from his latest film. The filmmaker said, “I can neither confirm nor deny anything of the kind.” He continues: “It’s like, ‘Oh s**t.’ There’s been a lot of reaction to people finding things in the trailer that aren’t in the actual movie. I can say I think people will see more in the future. That’s about all I can really say. I’ am hopeful.” Do we ever see an extended cut of no is still unknown; however, you can count on Jordan Peele to bring us back to that universe sooner or later.
Jordan Peele is ’empowered’ by People’s Love for no
Jordan Peele’s projects have generally been well received since he began directing feature films with Out in 2017. The director says he is “energetic” with the response to: no, prompting him to release more details and projects around the film. During his Collider interview, Peele says, “There’s clearly a lot of enthusiasm for digging into the layers of this film.”
“There’s obviously a lot of enthusiasm for digging into the layers of this film. And it’s one of the things I’m most excited about is that I think there’s a sense that people see that we’re not cheating, we I’ve made a movie that, when you watch it, tells a story and the pieces of the puzzle that, on another watch, feel like they’re missing, reveal that they’re not missing, and so I get a lot of energy from the fact that people want more of this story.”
Peele always leaves many small details in his filmography, hinting at the themes and mysteries surrounding his films. no is no different, with replays almost necessary to fully understand the film. You can still see Nope in theaters, with a few showings, or watch it digitally as it arrived earlier last month.
