BPS 105: Inside Screenwriting Get Out with Jordan Peele & James V. Hart

Get ready to have your mind blown! I'll be releasing a 3-Part
Limited Series of conversations between the legendary screenwriter
James V. Hart, the writer of Hook, Contact, Bram Stroker's Dracula,
and Tomb Raider just to name a few, and some of the top
screenwriters in the game.

First up is the screenwriter that took the world by storm with his
Oscar-Winning screenplay Get Out, Jordan Peele. If you have been
living under a rock for the past few years here is what the film is
about.

In Universal Pictures’ Get Out, a speculative thriller from
Blumhouse (producers of The Visit, Insidious series, and The Gift)
and the mind of Jordan Peele, when a young African-American man
visits his white girlfriend’s family estate, he becomes ensnared in
a more sinister real reason for the invitation.

Now that Chris (Daniel Kaluuya, Sicario) and his girlfriend, Rose
(Allison Williams, Girls), have reached the meet-the-parents
milestone of dating, she invites him for a weekend getaway upstate
with Missy (Catherine Keener, Captain Phillips) and Dean (Bradley
Whitford, The Cabin in the Woods).

At first, Chris reads the family’s overly accommodating behavior as
nervous attempts to deal with their daughter’s interracial
relationship, but as the weekend progresses, a series of
increasingly disturbing discoveries lead him to a truth that he
could have never imagined.

This was recorded before Jordan's next hit film Us was released.
Listening to these two masters discuss character, plot, theme, and
more is a rare treat. It's like being a fly on the wall.

Enjoy this rare conversation between James V. Hart and Jordan
Peele.
