Comedian turned super-star film director Jordan Peele is looking at another blockbuster success with US. In the horror genre, it focusses on an affluent black family menaced in their home by another family who look almost exactly like them. It took $110 million worldwide in its first few days and achieved the second best opening weekend in North America for an original live action film, after Avatar in 2009; and only cost $20 million.
His previous movie as writer, producer and director the 2017 Get Out, which won him an Oscar for best original screenplay, was a funny, frightening and thought-provoking thriller about race in America that cost $4.5 million to make and was the first film from a black director to make $100 million at the US and Canadian box office. And he received his second Academy Award nomination for Best Picture for producing Spike Lee’s BlacKkKlansman. Talented and on a roll.
Born 21 February 1979 in New York, he was brought up by a single mother and dropped out of college to form a comedy duo. He has a Sun and Mercury in filmic Pisces opposition Saturn in extra-hard-working Virgo. His Sun is conjunct an enduring and stubborn Mars in late Aquarius. And his Mars is doubly determined being trine Pluto, with both sextiling onto filmic Neptune (Moon) in Sagittarius; and his Mars is in a no-compromise square to Uranus as well. Aquarius and Sagittarius are two comic signs.
His creative 5th harmonic is strongly aspected; and even more so his superstar 22H.
