Jordan Peele and Issa Rae Teaming Up For a New Supernatural Film SINKHOLE
Jordan Peele is teaming up with Issa Rae to develop a new supernatural film project for Universal Pictures titled Sinkhole. The film is described as a genre piece “that engages on the question of female perfection and identity.”
The film is based on a short story of the same name and it centers on a young family “who moves into their dream home, except for the gaping sinkhole in the backyard. The sinkhole manages to take all things that are broken and destroyed and make them perfect again. But what if that thing is a person?”
That’s certainly an interesting concept to play with and it should make for a great film. Sinkhole is a potential star vehicle for Rae, who will be producing the film alongside Peele. Leyna Krow, the author of the short story, is also an executive producer on the project along with Alex Davis-Lawrence of the literary journal, Moss, where the story was originally published.
I’ve enjoyed the projects that Peele has had his hand in over the past few years and I’ll be looking forward to seeing how this next project turns out.
