back now with the reason we are missing craig yesterday, you had a whirlwind trip and interviewing an incredible director

>> out in los angeles for a couple days. jordan peelle, one of the hottest directors in hollywood and his much anticipated film "nope" is about to come out. brit opens in theaters, i had a chance to sit down with peelle on a replica of the new set. it is the newest attraction on the universal studios hollywood back lot >> are you ready >> jordan peelle is back doing what he does best. terrifying moviegoers. >> run >> the oscar winning writer/producer/director of "get out" is planning to do it again with "nope." do you consider this a horror film >> i do consider it a horror film in that horror is my favorite genre the. >> without giving away too much, i know you won't, what is "nope" about? >> it's about a lot of things.

the first notion that i latched on to when writing this movie is this idea of making a spectacle. i wanted to make a flying saucer movie because i just felt like if we can feel like we are in the presence of something other, something -- we feel that's real, then that's just an immersive experience worthy of going to the movies. >> i read in an interview recently that you maintain this is not a film that could have been made five years ago why not? >> i think this idea of, you know, letting a black director put his vision into a film and commit to it let's put it this way, i didn't think they would let me do that five years ago so much of my career before i became a director was, you know, marred with this internalized sense that i could never be allowed to be. no one would ever trust me with money.

you know, enough money to do my vision >> yeah. >> the way they would trust other people i felt that was true so here i am, universal studios. they have proven me wrong. >> a decade ago, a young jordan peelle alongside his comedy partner kept audiences laughing with their hilarious comedy series today peelle is one of the hottest directors in hollywood he's forgeded an on going partnership with oscar winning actor who is currently starring in "nope" and previously "get out. peelle's 2017 director debut what is it about working with daniel that makes it so special? >> daniel, you know, i said it before and i'll say it again, he is my favorite actor to watch. and to work with as well we have a shorthanded that is just dream as a director and that's my star >> and while horror is a key component of every jordan peelle movie, whether it's subtle or overt, the issue of race is

always woven into the plot >> i think it's impossible to make any movie without being about race because, you know, race is all around us. you can't have black people in a flying saucer film and just have it be the same experience. it's just not. there is a different relationship >> you are in the product of an interracial family the world view informs your movie making in a similar pronounced way is that accurate >> my race, i think, has informed my entire artistic journey. and part of it has been trying to reconcile the box and the box is that this country puts people

of color in. and trying to break out of that box. >> peelle has definitely broken out of the box he gave me a tour of the newest attraction on the universal studios hollywood back lot, a replica of the "nope" set. >> if someone said to you 10, 15, 20 years ago that jordan peelle, one of his films would have permanent space here on the lot at universal, what would you have said? >> i would have said, well, then it would have worked my plan would have worked. >> this is part of the grand plan all along >> yeah. >> okay. >> i don't know if i knew to really dream this big, but i did. i did. you know, when i first came to universal studios as a kid, i was into movie making. to have a home on a lot let alone this spot is very special to me. >> here's the thing, we've all been to that back lot.

it is "jaws," "back to the future," some of the biggest films. >> how did they choose film? >> because our company is committed to jordan peelle and believe in his future. by the way, he also has -- he's more genre bending horror films in his pocket as well. so we're going to be seeing more of this. >> so much mystery leading up to his movies you know, you can't wait to see them. >> you couldn't even go to a screen -- >> no. >> you got to see it >> yes but i think when people see the film, it's a film you need to watch twice to really appreciate the metaphors and the scenes >> a brilliant marketing scheme too. twice as much money. >> true. "nope" from universal opens in theaters on july 22nd. coming up next, "consumer reports" is on it. sharing the best grills and gadgets for your barbecue. how about a pizza oven in your

backyard we visit covered we visit covered first this i big tobacco's cigarette butts filter practically nothing and are made of microplastic fibers that are toxic and cunning. they may seep into water and food, and air, too. and the smaller microplastics get, the more damage they do. could they end up in you, your bodies, their prey? new studies indicate possible links to mutations in dna. an evil lie with a future's worth of harm. to the world, now you know. so sound the alarm.
