Jordan Peele explains his new sci-fi horror film, "Nope"

Writer and director Jordan Peele says he's made it his duty to process the world around him the only way he knows how: through his imagination. In his third feature film, "Nope," featuring actors Keke Palmer and Steven Yeun, Peele channels his own fears into a world of science fiction and horror. 

"First and foremost, I wanted to make a UFO horror film. And then of course it's like, where is the iconic Black UFO film? And whenever I feel that my favorite movie out there hasn't been made, that's the void I'm trying to fill with my films," Peele told "CBS Mornings" co-host Gayle King ahead of the movie's recent release. "It's like trying to make the film that I wish someone would make for me."

The Oscar-award winning filmmaker said he wrote the movie at a time in which he felt most of society had "been living through a bad miracle," and used his nightmares to tell the story, which follows siblings in the horse training business who suddenly find themselves dealing with an otherworldly phenomenon.
