Los Angeles May 24 (IANS) Actor-director-writer Jordan Peele says he wanted to be "racially specific and universal" with his film "Get Out".
"Get Out" a horror film centred on an inter-racial relationship between a black American man and his white partner was a satire on racism and it was critically lauded. Peele became the first African-American screenwriter to win an Oscar for Best Original Screenplay for "Get Out".
"The curiosity of guess who is coming to dinner really connected I think. Besides having amazing actors and a script and execution it s a story about race. But it s a situation that s relatable to anyone " Peele said in a statement to IANS.
"Everyone shares the fear of meeting your in-laws whether you are or not from a different race than them you are going to fear that they might not accept you in that situation. So I had a eureka moment in writing the script that s the mold I should make this movie in is to start with both racially specific and universal " he added.
The film will find its way onto the small screen in India on May 27 on Sony PIX.
