Universal Pictures is saying "Get in" to Get Out filmmaker Jordan Peele.
The studio has signed Peele to a first-look overall production deal with his Monkeypaw Productions banner.
Under the two-year pact, Universal stakes a claim to Peele's next film, an untitled social thriller that he will write, direct and produce.
That project is looking to have a larger canvas than Get Out as the budget will be about five times bigger than the low-budget movie Peele made with producer Jason Blum.
The movie, which Universal released, has grossed more than $194 million worldwide and was made on a budget of about $5 million.
Peele founded Monkeypaw in 2012, and the company produced Key and Peele for five seasons.
Peele was a regular on MADtv and recurred on a season of FX’s acclaimed Fargo series. »
