Jordan Peele's Us Reveals Its Scary Secret in a Creepy First Trailer

Halloween, A Nightmare on Elm Street, and Friday the 13th are all horror classics—and, if Jordan Peele has his way, Us will soon join them. The first trailer for Peele’s follow-up to Get Out is here, and with this film, the writer-director had some lofty goals.
“It’s a horror film [and] I dedicated a lot of myself to create a new horror mythology, a new monster,” Peele said in Los Angeles last week. “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.”
So what’s Peele’s monster? Here’s the trailer, which Peele calls his “eerie, creepy-ass gift” to us all this Christmas.



When the lights came up after a screening of the trailer last week, Peele ran to the front of the theater, mimed a mic drop, then ran away. Which is appropriate for that powerhouse trailer.

“[It was] very important for me to have a black family at the center of a horror film,” Peele said. “But it’s also important to note this movie, unlike Get Out, is not about race. It is, instead, about something that I feel has become an undeniable truth: the simple fact that we are our own worst enemies.”
Peele has made this idea literal with this “creepy-ass” trailer. Peele’s horror film is a home invasion movie where the invaders are some kind of sinister doppelgängers of the family themselves. What did you think of the Us trailer? Are you worried it gives away too much?
Us, which stars Lupita Nyong’o, Winston Duke, Elisabeth Moss, and Tim Heidecker, opens March 15.

FBI HACKED IPHONE 11 in 2months

Lev Parnas, seen here in December 2019. Photo: Seth Wenig (AP) The U.S. Department of Justice claimed in a  letter to a federal judge  this week that it took almost two months for the FBI to break into an iPhone 11 owned by Lev Parnas, a former associate of Donald Trump’s lawyer, Rudy Giuliani, who has been sucked into the sprawling impeachment mess facing the White House,  Bloomberg reported  on Tuesday. That the FBI managed to unlock the device at all may raise eyebrows, given that the DOJ and FBI have both recently ramped up pressure campaigns claiming they  desperately need Apple’s assistance  to unlock its devices and demanding Apple  build backdoors into its encryption . Parnas claims he acted as a fixer in Trump’s scheme to coerce the Ukrainian government into launching a sham investigation of Democratic presidential candidate Joe Biden by withholding nearly $400 million in defense aid—the matter at the center of the ongoing...

TOP TECH GIANTS TO WORK WITH THIS 2020

Tech companies are known for offering lavish perks, like free food, onsite gyms and doctors, and long periods of time off for parental leave. So it may come as no surprise that tech companies accounted for a significant portion of Glassdoor's annual list of the 100 best places to work in the year ahead. Tech industry giants like Google, Facebook, and Microsoft, and Apple made the list, but some of these companies dropped in placement compared to last year. Facebook, for example, fell by 16 spots to number 23 on Glassdoor's list, while Google dropped three spots to number 11 and Apple slipped down 13 spots to 84. Microsoft, comparatively, jumped up to take 21st place, an improvement from the 34th-place slot it occupied last year. Here's a look at all the tech companies that made Glassdoor's list, which is based on employee feedback regarding their job, work environment, and employer over the last year. 1.
