Nope's rampaging chimpanzee, Gordy, is just as terrifying in human form in a behind-the-scenes look at Jordan Peele's latest horror film. Peele's third directorial effort after Get Out and Us, Nope follows horse-wrangling siblings OJ and Emerald Haywood , who attempt to capture video evidence of an unidentified flying object hovering over their ranch.
SCREENRANT VIDEO OF THE DAY While Kaluuya and Palmer's characters are the main focus, Nope also features a memorable subplot involving Gordy the Chimp. In the film, Ricky "Jupe" Park is a former child actor turned theme park owner who wants to buy the Haywood Ranch. In 1998, while Jupe is filming an episode of the sitcom Gordy’s Home, the titular chimp actor has a violent outburst on set, killing and maiming many of his human co-stars while Jupe hides under a table and watches.
4 Images Close To bring Gordy to life in Nope, Rocheron explains that they began by building an oversized set in which every prop was 30 percent larger than normal size. This way, Notary could interact with the objects on set and everything would appear to be at chimp scale. When it came time to actually film the scene, they used a total of seven witness cameras and employed "faux-cap,” a variation of a traditional motion capture setup.
These BTS images from Nope provide an interesting window into the complex process that was used to bring Gordy to life. A lot of the credit goes to the actor, Notary, a noted mocap performer who previously played a chimpanzee in the Planet of the Apes reboot trilogy. However, Gordy also wouldn't have been possible without Rocheron and his team of VFX artists. While Nope is primarily a UFO movie, the Gordy’s Home rampage seems to have been the standout sequence for many.
