Jordan Peele Talks Us Trailer, Plus 6 More Doppelganger Movies

Now that Universal Pictures has released the trailer for director Jordan Peele’s new social thriller film Us, ComingSoon.net can reveal the Academy Award winning Get Out filmmaker’s intro to the trailer which we saw earlier this month. Since the film is now revealed to involve a family of doppelgangers, we have also included a list of six more doppelganger horror movies which you can check out below!

“It has been a labor of love,” Peele stated in his intro to the trailer. “It is a horror film. I dedicated a lot of myself to create a new horror mythology and a new monster. I think that stories about monsters are one of our best ways at getting at deeper truths and facing our fears as a society.”

“Very important for me was to have a black family at the center of a horror film,” Peele added. “It’s also important to note this movie, unlike ‘Get Out,’ is not about race. It is instead about something I feel has become an undeniable truth: That we are our own worst enemies. ”

The late James Bond actor’s personal favorite role was this thriller about a man who encounters a double of himself after a car crash, which sets his life on a harrowing new course.
