Us - The Complete Annotated Screenplay

Published in conjunction with the fifth anniversary of the release of the film, this companion paperback to the critically acclaimed film features Oscar-winning director Jordan Peele’s screenplay — richly illustrated with over 150 stills from the motion picture, alternate endings and deleted scenes — features commissioned annotations by hannah baer, Theaster Gates, and more, alongside a constellation of images, definitions and inspirations that extend the themes of the film.

A masterpiece of identity horror and a dark reflection on America’s past and present, 'Us' presents chilly atmospherics, psychological torment and old-world suspense-building plot twists. Whereas 'Get Out' was considered more a mixture of drama and suspense, Peele leaned fully into the horror genre with his sophomore film, using urban legends such as doppelgangers to tease out the uniquely American perceptions of xenophobia and 'othering.'

Jordan Peele is a writer, actor and filmmaker who rose to fame as half of the comedy duo Key & Peele. He has written and directed three feature films: 'Get Out' (2017), 'Us' (2019) and 'Nope' (2022). He was the first Black screenwriter to win an Academy Award for Best Original Screenplay.
