Editors' Picks: Week of Oct. 4, 20194 of 9
Mogul of the Week
The love for Jordan Peele can't stop, won't stop. Is that surprising? His first two features raked in $500+ million at the box office, he scored an Oscar win for screenwriting (Get Out), an Oscar nom for producing (BlacKkKlansman), and has a ton in the works, including a Candyman reboot, a first-look TV deal with Amazon Studios, and the upcoming "Lovecraft Country" for HBO. If that wasn't enough, Universal ponied up and handed Peele a five-year movie deal. We'd like to go on record to say we're ready for all of these things.
