First Details, Poster for Jordan Peele’s Next Horror Movie Project HIM

by

As a passionate young football enthusiast with grand aspirations, I found myself at an isolated sports camp run by a legendary, older quarterback, who was known throughout the league. Little did I know that my dreams of making it big on the field would take a bizarre and chilling turn. This eerie and unsettling setting serves as the backdrop for “HIM,” the latest horror film from Jordan Peele, produced by Universal Pictures. The movie hits theaters nationwide starting September 19.

Under the production company Monkeypaw Productions owned by Peele and directed by Justin Tipping (known for films like “Kicks” and “Joe vs. Carole”), the movie “HIM” has unveiled its initial poster preview, offering a sneak peek into the film’s ominous narrative. From the eerie football image provided, it seems that “HIM” is gearing up to be more than just your typical sports film.

According to the image, it’s clear that HIM will exact a significant cost from its promising young athlete, portrayed by Tyriq Withers (known for his roles in “The Game” and “Tell Me Lies”). Over a chilling warning that “greatness calls for sacrifice,” the haunting poster features a football enclosed within a museum-like glass case, with blood droplets trickling from it onto the base below.

For quite some time, it’s been clear that the upcoming movie, previously known as GOAT, will challenge viewers’ perspectives on athletic triumph. This film, produced by Jordan Peele’s Monkeypaw Productions (as reported by The Wrap), is being marketed as an “anti-sports horror movie.” It revolves around a gifted young football player who receives an invitation to train at the secluded facility of an aging quarterback’s storied team. Universal’s recent hints about the plot suggest that HIM will be a terrifying exploration into the depths of fame, power, and relentless pursuit of excellence, even if it comes at a great cost.

Who stars in HIM?

In the upcoming movie, Withers is cast as the promising young football player who gets an opportunity to learn from a renowned older quarterback at a secluded training facility of a veteran team’s quarterback. Marlon Wayans, known for his roles in “Fifty Shades of Black” and “Scary Movie,” will portray this esteemed quarterback and mentor, sharing the screen with Julia Fox (“Uncut Gems” and “No Sudden Move”), Tim Heidecker (“First Time Female Director” and “Us”), comedian Jim Jefferies (“The Jim Jefferies Show”), as well as emerging hip-hop artists Guapdad 4000 and Tierra Whack, who are making their feature film debuts.

Jordan Peele, who won an Oscar for films like “Get Out,” “Us,” and most recently “Nope,” is collaborating with Ian Cooper (also from “Nope” and “Us”), Win Rosenfeld (“Candyman,” “Lovecraft Country”), and Jamal M. Watson (“Hala,” “Sprinter”) on a new project titled “HIM.” This partnership takes place under Monkeypaw Productions, while David Kern (“The Bikeriders,” “Flamin’ Hot”) and Kate Oh from Monkeypaw serve as executive producers for the project.

The upcoming screenplay titled “Tipping,” by Zack Akers & Skip Bronkie (creators of the science fiction crime series “Limetown”), will lead us. This script, which was chosen as one of the best unproduced screenplays in 2022, can be tracked on social media using the hashtag #HimMovie for updates and sneak peeks.
