After the commercial and critical success of 2017’s Get Out, Jordan Peele quickly established himself as an exciting and innovative auteur with a knack for reinventing Hollywood’s genres through the lens of contemporary race relations. With a focus on horror, his films invert the racial preoccupations of an industry that, especially since the mid-2000s, has been fixated on white fears and anxieties. A highly anticipated cinematic event, the release of Nope (2022), Peele’s newest meditation on race, filmmaking, and media spectacle, did not disappoint.
The Impossible Shot: Race, Genre, and Spectacle in Jordan Peele’s "Nope" explores the director's latest film from a variety of perspectives and situates Nope within his larger work, alongside the growing body of scholarship on Peele and the political turn in post-Trump US horror. His third film offered a sprawling, epic, sci-fi, Western, family melodrama focused on those at the margins of Hollywood image making. This collection offers groups of essays organized around three interconnected themes: Nope’s interrogation of media spectacle and the politics of gazing in the social media era; its expansive intertextuality and layers of pop culture referents; and its investment in positioning animals and ecology into a narrative about media and consumption. By teasing out the nuances and complexity of Peele’s work, this volume will appeal to film and media scholars; teachers and students exploring issues of race, media, genre, or Peele as a director; and fans of horror in general.
