Get Out
Written by Jordan Peele
Writer and Director Jordan Peele was initially inspired to write the script after rewatching the 1983 classic stand-up concert film Eddie Murphy: Delirious. In the film, Eddie Murphy jokes about horror movies and asks why white people never leave when there is a ghost in the house. He later jokes that if he was showing his wife around a beautiful house and heard a ghost whisper, “get out,” he would immediately tell her, “Too bad we can’t stay, baby!”
Peele commented on his switch from comedy to horror by explaining, “The reason I made it a horror film is that it’s my favorite genre.”He went on to say, “I actually started wanting to make a horror thriller, and in asking myself what that would look like, eventually, I got to what ‘Get Out’ is, which is, in many ways, my greatest fears on film.”
