NOPE

Jean Jacket: An enormous unidentified aerial organism that initially resembles a pale, flattened flying saucer, often concealed inside a strangely stationary cloud. Its compact form has a smooth, pale membrane-like surface, subtle ridges, and a wide opening underneath. When fully unfurled, it expands into a gigantic, pale, parachute-like shape with layered, pleated membranes, flowing ribbon-like edges, and a distinctive square green eye. Its body ripples, folds, and flexes with the wind, resembling a strange blend of jellyfish, cuttlefish, and living sail. It is not a spacecraft or machine but a territorial animal with a powerful predatory response to being directly watched. It disguises itself among clouds, glides with the wind, and changes shape dramatically. OJ names it after a horse from the Haywood family ranch. The group witnessed its attack on the Star Lasso Experience and knows it is still above them.

Gordy: A male chimpanzee and the star of the fictional 1990s sitcom Gordy’s Home. He has dark brown-to-black fur, a powerful compact body, long arms, and an expressive, dark, bare face. On the sitcom, he is dressed in human-style childlike clothes; during the birthday episode, he wears a yellow-and-black striped cardigan-style sweatshirt and a birthday hat. He is presented as a mischievous, usually cooperative performer who appears playful and familiar with the cast’s routines. A sudden balloon pop and the stressful sitcom environment precede the tragic 1997 incident on set. Young Ricky “Jupe” Park survives by hiding beneath a table and remembers Gordy approaching him with their familiar fist-bump gesture. The event profoundly shapes Jupe, who later turns the memory into a disturbing attraction for visitors.

Amber Park: Female, adult, around 30, fair skin, light eyes, and shoulder-length light brown-to-dark blonde hair, worn neatly and simply. Her appearance is polished and understated, with practical, muted-toned clothing suited to working at Jupiter’s Claim rather than Jupe’s flamboyant showman wardrobe. Jupe’s wife, business partner, and the park’s manager, she handles calls, press invitations, and event arrangements with practiced professionalism. She is matter-of-fact, organized, composed, and supportive, with an interest in horses. Her manner can seem brisk or overly cheerful while she manages the park’s business, but she is affectionate with Jupe and checks on him before the Star Lasso Experience. She and her family are among the people taken during the showcase.

Otis Haywood Sr.: Male, older adult, tall, solid, sturdy build, deep brown skin, dark eyes, short close-cropped gray hair, and graying facial hair. His face is weathered and serious, with a distinctive injury to his right eye after the strange events at the ranch. He wears practical, worn ranch clothing: muted work shirts, denim, sturdy trousers, and boots, favoring comfort over showy Western styling. Father of OJ and Emerald and owner of Haywood Hollywood Horses, he is an experienced horse trainer who takes pride in the family's generations-long place in Hollywood history. Blunt, disciplined, practical, proud, and quietly affectionate, he expects his children to respect the horses and their work. He shares an understated, teasing bond with OJ and wants the family business to survive. He dies early in the film after an unexplained object falls from the sky.

Ricky “Jupe” Park: Korean-American male, mid-30s, lean, wiry build, light-to-medium warm skin, dark eyes, and neatly styled dark hair, usually combed back with a clean-shaven, polished appearance. A former child star, he played “Lil’ Jupe” in Kid Sheriff and later starred in the sitcom Gordy’s Home. As an adult, he owns Jupiter’s Claim, a colorful Old West-themed attraction. His most memorable outfit is a flamboyant bright-red Western Nudie suit, decorated with sparkling details and embroidered UFO/alien motifs, paired with a white shirt, bolo tie, and cowboy hat. Charming, polished, theatrical, business-minded, and hungry for attention, he masks unresolved childhood trauma with showmanship and carefully rehearsed stories. He believes Jean Jacket can be turned into a profitable spectacle, fatally underestimating it. He and his family are among those lost at the Star Lasso Experience.

OJ Haywood: Male, young adult, average-height with a lean, rangy build, deep brown skin, dark brown eyes, and short, closely cropped black hair with a tight natural texture. His face is long and serious, usually set in a quiet, guarded expression; he keeps facial hair minimal. His practical wardrobe blends ranch workwear with modern streetwear: worn blue jeans, sturdy brown cowboy boots, plain or brightly colored graphic T-shirts, hoodies, and a Haywood Hollywood Horses cap. He also wears a black Malcolm X cap; near the climax, he puts on his father's vivid orange Scorpion King crew hoodie. His clothes look lived-in rather than carefully styled. Reserved, observant, patient, understated, and deeply protective of his family and horses. He speaks sparingly, often using short, direct sentences, and notices details others overlook. A skilled horse trainer and animal wrangler who values safety, routine, and respect for animals.

Emerald Haywood: Female, young adult, medium-height with a sturdy, curvy build, medium-deep brown skin, dark brown eyes, and a wide, expressive smile. Her natural black hair is worn in a voluminous, rounded afro, a deliberate part of her on-screen look. Her wardrobe is eclectic, sporty, and Western-influenced: oversized graphic tees, baseball shirts, relaxed men's jeans, cowboy boots, a leather Western vest inherited from her mother, and shiny earrings and rings. Her shirts include a Canyon Creek tee and a childhood Prince shirt; she often wears borrowed pieces, including OJ's clothing. Her style is spontaneous, colorful, and confidently assembled rather than coordinated. Outgoing, funny, charismatic, ambitious, resourceful, and quick-witted. She loves performing, telling stories, and taking charge, but humor can mask fear and hurt. Fiercely loyal to OJ and protective of the ranch's legacy.

Angel Torres: Male, young adult, average-height with a slim build, warm medium-tan skin, dark eyes, and dark hair with washed-out blond highlights, styled in a tousled, textured cut. He has patchy facial hair, including a light mustache and uneven beard growth. His wardrobe has a dark, punk-influenced palette: obscure-band graphic T-shirts, cut-off shorts, casual jeans, and Vans. His shirts reference bands such as Earth, The Jesus Lizard, Wipers, and Rage Against the Machine, reflecting his post-punk and proto-grunge tastes. He initially works at an electronics store and knows his way around cameras, monitors, and surveillance equipment. Talkative, sarcastic, curious, cynical, suspicious of authority, and more anxious than he likes to admit. He uses jokes and constant commentary to handle fear, but proves resourceful and loyal once he joins OJ and Emerald.
