How Brandon Perea Fundamentally Changed The Script Of Nope

Jordan Peele’s Nope may have been all about spectacle, but the real scene-stealer is Brandon Perea’s Angel Torres. An exhausted, worn-down electronics tech who brings much-needed comic relief to the sci-fi horror, Angel is key to helping OJ (Daniel Kaluuya), and Em (Keke Palmer) tackle the alien phenomenon they’ve named Jean Jacket—but the actor says Angel was initially a very different character. Speaking with Variety, Perea shared that Peele had written Angel as a happy, friendly Fry’s employee but decided to take the character in a different direction for his audition when the cheery role didn’t match Perea’s personal experience with salesmen....

How The Whale And Other Darren Aronofsky Movies Mistake Misery For Art

It’s fitting that, of all Biblical narratives, filmmaker Darren Aronofsky chose to adapt the flood narrative. His film Noah recounts the peculiarly disturbing antediluvian tale of a human society so wicked and depraved that God, its very creator, chose to wipe it all out with a massive flood and start over. This is the same perspective that almost every Aronofsky film begins with — people are mostly awful, and life is generally tragic; if Aronofsky was God, there’d likely be more than one flood....
