![]() Nope also uses flashbacks, particularly those involving Ricky “Jupe” Park’s ( Steven Yeun), to develop its characters, convey themes, and bring tension to the story. “And so a lot of the interiors in the house and the sound design are really focused on feeling like you're in there with them, rather than having a God's eye view of everything that's happening.” ![]() “The number one way I know that I feel drawn into a film, especially a thriller or horror scenario, is when I really feel linked to the characters’ experience of the events,” Monsour explained. One thing Nope does so well is how it moves the audience from expansive shots of the UFO moving through the sky to the characters cowering in their home or a stable shed. (As for other seeds found in Nope, a 2014 Tweet from Peele suggests that the whole chimpanzee storyline came from a dream he had where he woke up crying.) “The core idea - the horse ranch, this brother and sister encountering the UFO and the attempt to capture that on film - was there from pretty much the first time I heard him mention anything about it, before he'd even written it,” Monsour said. “I don't know when they formed - they may have formed when he was a kid watching movies, they may be brand new, popping into his head all the time, but he's got the seeds.”Īccording to Monsour, the COVID lockdown germinated the seeds for Nope, partly because Peele wanted to make a movie that would bring people back to the theater. “My understanding of the way Jordan works … is that he's got seeds for a lot of ideas,” Monsour told SYFY WIRE.
