His next film will make its world premiere at the upcoming SXSW Festival.

Janet Pierson, director of film at South by Southwest, stated they couldn’t think of a better film to open this festival on March 8.

“We are crazy excited to world premiere the most anticipated film of 2019 from the creative powerhouse that brought us Get Out. We honestly couldn’t imagine a more perfect film to kick off the 2019 SXSW Film Festival,” said Pierson.

Us tells the story of a couple who are looking forward to an idyllic summer getaway with their kids. Their vacation turns into a total nightmare after they discover silhouettes of four mysterious figures in their beach house, who look exactly like them.

2019 addition of South by Southwest will take place between March 9-17 in Austin, Texas and the rest of film line-up is yet to be announced.

The Get Out filmmaker has released the first trailer for his highly anticipated horror film. The trailer follows a teaser image released by Peele earlier this month of a pair of hands in leather gloves, clutching gold scissors. He captioned it: “Watch yourself.”

Peele told The Hollywood Reporter last week that it was “very important for [him] to have a black family at the center of a horror film.” He continued: ”But it’s also important to note, unlike Get Out, Us is not about race. It is instead about something that I feel has become an undeniable truth. And that is the simple fact that we are our own worst enemies.”

“I dedicated a lot of myself to create a new horror mythology and a new monster,” Peele added. “I think that monsters and stories about monsters are one of our best ways of getting at deeper truths and facing our fears as a society.”

Us opens March 15, 2019.
