Get Out director Jordan Peele has started the countdown. The Hollywood filmmaker announced a much-needed new film title and release date.

Peele went to social media last night (May 8) and revealed his next film, Us, arrives next year.

Recently, Jordan joked about getting inspired to write a Get Out sequel following Kanye West making references to the film on Twitter.

Back in January, Jordan reacted to making history with his Get Out film landing “Best Screenplay” at the Oscars.

Last night, Jordan gave a heartfelt acceptance speech after beating out stiff competition from Lady Bird and The Shape of Water.

“I stopped writing this movie about 20 times because I thought it was impossible,” Peele said in his acceptance speech. “But I kept coming back to it because I knew if someone let me make this movie, people would hear it and people would see it.” Peele thanked Universal, Jason Blum, the cast and crew, and his wife and mother. “To everybody who went and saw this movie, everybody who bought a ticket, who told somebody to buy a ticket — thank you!” Peele said.

The last African American nominated in the screenplay category goes back to the early 1990’s.

Only four black film writers have been nominated in the best original screenplay category in Oscars’ 90-year history: Suzanne de Passe (“Lady Sings the Blues,” 1972), Spike Lee (“Do the Right Thing,” 1989) John Singleton (“Boyz n the Hood,” 1991) and Peele. (CNN)
