John Carpenter has made many famous, cult-classic, and well-received (horror) movies in the past. Jordan Peele has made a number of very well-received horror movies in recent decades.
These sort of "photo ops" even if this was just a genuine post, have heralded the possibility of a collaborative work. This is exciting because of the skill of both auteurs.
Jordan Peele makes horror movies?....wat
Get Out, Us, Nope…
They're good movies too.
Comedy and horror share a lot of the same beats.
Ah thought as much. Thanks. I didn't know who John Carpeter was. I was so confused about the post title.
damn, Peele got old...
...
oh shit, i got old
Hey. Be glad we got to be alive at all. Make a fucking party out of it. Go have a threesome.
You know how all the old people get up early and go to mcds and we used to be like "ah what's that all about that's weird" and then you grow up and go "oh yeah that's actually the tits" and then you get a little older and you realize that old people just sleep around a ton because that's also the shit? Yeah. Do more of that. Old people aren't null, they just learn to hide it away from all the annoying little angsty whippersnappers. Probably.
Iunno man, life isn't that short, our memories are just shitty. Go make more weird memories. Use that free will. Go plant some McDonald's tomato seeds along the road or move to a place that sucks less or chase lightning in your car or see how long you can hang out in a grocery store until you get kicked out or learn to play an instrument and doodle on it somewhere in public, earn to paint, rob a bank, go into the forest and make a rock house, see how many new friends you can make in a day, learn a new language, skateboard, eat Indian food, make up a new bill and get signatures, buy a big pack of eggs and throw them at rich people, go be gay, draw a picture on paper, learn to meditate, make a movie, get some sticks and hit trees with them, donate blood, ride a bike, learn to tell stand-up comedy, make up stand-up horror as a hobby, write a book, see how long you can sleep during the day, see how healthy you can get, try to autofellate, go somewhere random and laugh really really hard then walk away, arson, collect lose change and just drop coins randomly, make a line of pennies or whatever, throw quarters at pigs, huff the fires of hell, do donuts in an abandoned parking lot, prepare for winter to do donuts in a parking lot in the snow, record yourself singing songs, skip rocks, write poetry, volunteer at the library, read a new series, go find a grassy hill and roll down it in front of other people, take up tai chi, wash your face and drink more water, put on gloves and walk on fours down the sidewalk and smile like aphex twin at children passing, learn to smile like aphex twin, learn to smile like titans in attack on Titan, learn to pose like a jojo, eat a salad, have diarrhea, drink water and electrolytes to make up for the lost hydration, try a new item at Taco Bell, realize the tacos at Jack in the box are actually really good, buy twenty of them and go eat them at a crowded park by yourself, dress up as waluigi and go back to said park and cry the hardest you can and ruin the day for everybody else there, go home and eat a nice sandwich, wash your butthole, shave your butthole, realize your mistake later, do a puzzle, see what soap really tastes like, get a hammer and goggles and go around breaking little rocks to see what's inside, buy some nice headphones, listen to some good music, accept who you are and that's everything you do and your success rate is the same as everybody else's, see how high you can jump, record videos of you dancing, buy some Ritz crackers and dip them in weird stuff like mustard, find the biggest jawbreaker you can and don't mess up your teeth, start flossing, stop smoking, stop vaping, stop drinking, exercise in any way you can, go talk to whatever family you have left, pick a place, take a roadtrip, and get a treat from there on a nice day, research and shop for and buy a flashlight, go for a night adventure, arson, take a class from your local college, go into the city and listen to somebody playing music, give a homeless person a burger, punch a fascist, arson, sing, dance, make up a tradition, celebrate your birthday, listen to Christmas music in July, feed the birds, bring a blanket to a meadow and have a picnic, dress up as something you're not and see how long you can get away with it, go talk to old people, eat a cake, make a pizza, do a pull-up, get ready for inktober, make a new food, buy some rope and duct tape, fly a drone, listen to a river, pretend something that isn't a river is a river and listen to it like it's a river, take up stargazing, take up bird watching, find your nearest ai datacenter, learn to whistle better, see if you can trace the origins of rock n roll music, pick a random topic and learn the history of it, go to a museum and read EVERYTHING in it, go to your local college's bookstore and buy a textbook and read the entire thing, learn to grow coffee, watch an old series that you've always wanted to, watch a new series that you hate, dress up formal and grab a clipboard and some paper and go to a restaurant and pretend you're judging them for an hour then tell them thanks and leave.
I have to go now.
A bit more grey hair but he looks just the same otherwise IMO. Though I mostly know him from his pretty recent career of horror movies, have seen some of the Key and Peele skits but that was years after they made them. Excited to see what comes next from him!
I would love a "The thing" movie by Peele. I feel he'd do justice to it.
I love the way it's always assumed that a remake of The Thing would do some kind of service/disservice to John Carpenter.
He made a fucking remake. If someone else does a remake, it's fucking whatever. Carpenter did a fantastic fucking remake, but it's still a remake.
Like if someone remade The Fly. Cronenberg did a fantastic job. Is it his fucking film? No. It was a remake.
The original The Thing is not a remake. I just recently watched the 1951 movie and it is very different from Carpenter's version. Both films are loosely based on "Who Goes There?" by John Campbell but they are independent interpretations of the source material.
Friend. I am not going that deep. I like both him and Jordan as directors. I know there is like a "the thing" movie before the one I am talking about with sexy Kurt Russel and Devilishly handsome Keith David, who also voiced the awesome Arbiter in Halo.
I just know that one and love it a lot and would love for a talented artist to do one or continue the story with little cgi. I like that type of horror, which is all my dude.
I was wondering why sexy Kurt Russel didn't wear a winter hat, but I heard he was contractually obligated to show his flowing mullet
His sexy hair is what probably saved him. No way any alien crearure could ever copy that licious flow of human hair. It'd have driven it crazy.
Are you claiming the original was a remake or the 2012 one he produced was a remake? You’re wrong on both accounts, but I need to know the answer to my question so I can tell you why you’re wrong.

Development of the film began in the mid-1970s when David Foster and fellow producer Lawrence Turman suggested to Universal Pictures an adaptation of the 1938 John W. Campbell novella Who Goes There? It had been loosely adapted once before in Howard Hawks' and Christian Nyby's 1951 film The Thing from Another World, but Foster and Turman wanted to develop a project that stuck more closely to the source material.

I'm saying the 82 film was a re-whatever of the 51 film/book.
Can't wait for their collab film "Get Out of The Thing."
Nope The Thing
"Get out of Dat Thang." They split the naming too.
Tyler Perry's "Get out of Dat Thang"
I'd thank you to not invoke that name in a thread about two great movie/story creators.
"Prodigious artist visits old artist in his home"
I wouldn't get my hopes up. Carpenter's a cool guy, word probably got out he liked Peele's work and Peele obviously decided to give the old man a visit.
BTW : Carpenter is still rockin' on bandcamp with his son.
I didn't read this post as some hint at a collaboration at all, just cool to see cool people meet.
Ty the music is fuckin sick
glad to be of service. I wish this was a reply to a different comment, but I'm glad to help Carpenter's new works get more attention from people that enjoy it.
I didn't know John carpenter was still around, I guess I don't follow social media.
Anyways: what a funny time to see this as I had just taken a break to get a soda while watching Assault on Precinct 13 when I read this.
Dude isn't even that old, he just looks ancient.
He is 78, which is that old.
Tbf he looks like he's closer to 100.
I just watched in the mouth of madness in memory of Sam Neill, me and my GF switch weekend of movie choice, wasn't enough for Mr Neill so still doing Jurassic Park week after next. I don't want to subject her to Event Horizon again.
I forgot it was a John Carpenter film I just loved the Lovecraftian bits, even if my first watch I knew nothing of Lovecraft. Wasn't till least 20 years later I figured out that cosmic horror was my jam..
I keep meaning to watch Peele's movies even if I don't watch much horror anymore. Well some but fewer slashers these days for sure. Always enjoy when I see him in stuff though, that is one fun picture.
Man, if you love cosmic horror, you'll probably love "Nope", even if it isn't cosmic horror in the traditional sense.
Nope was great. If Orbitz picks a random Peele movie, I bet they would enjoy it
Man, jordan peele looks so old. Has it been that long since the skits?
Key & Peele is an American sketch comedy television series that ran from 2012 to 2015.
Yes.

/c/horror would love this
why not cross post it?
I don’t know how
if you're on a browser, its the 2 squares offset diagonally icon near the post title. click it, then add the community in the correct field and that's about it.
Now do a collaborative project. That would be so rad.
I thought that is Jeffrey Wright
