Jordan Peele should make an actual movie out of "Noir Town"

What's up Femm Fam! My first thought when I came across the poster for "Noir Town" was that this is another Jordan Peele film, that just so happens to have Janelle Monae as the star. So when is the release date? Little did I know that rain was going to fall on my parade with the knowledge that this poster has nothing to do with a film by Jordan Peele, but a photo series meant to highlight "noir" and fashion, inspired by the likes of a Hitchcock style films with predominately Caucasian male stars.

This was meant to challenge the typical image of the "noir" vibe. (cynical crime style film). When I had this epiphany, my second emotion was mostly anticipation for a film that did not exist. In my opinion, on first glance, the "poster" is a bit deceptive. See the full photo series on wmag.com (discover here)
I digress. I believe that this photo fashion trilogy would do well in film or a video game. When I saw the word, "noir" I assumed there would be some live crime solving action, so a film would be fitting. Noir Town also reminds me of video game "L.A. Noire" that was released in 2011. This poster challenges the typical image by have a person of color  to be the star and not just "the help" or extra. 
Being that Peele is still in the hot seat from taking home an Oscar this past Sunday, I believe he should just take this "Noir Town" idea a run with it.
