Horror Sinners - Michael B. Jordan/Ryan Coogler Reunite

In crafting the script. Coogler researched hoodoo culture and the histories of blues legends like Robert Johnson. “When you think about the vampire as it exists, it’s got an association and a counterpart in almost every culture,” the filmmaker said. “It is the supernatural creature that's most associated with seduction (and) with choice. It's something that's very present. And, you know, blues music is often called the devil's music. The film is in conversation with all of those things.”



Oh hell yes, I love all of that. Hoodoo culture and the whole devil myth about Robert Johnson are interesting elements to explore.
 
Hoodoo culture and rootwork are NOTHING to screw around with.

It’s all very real.
 
Posting these in case Shameik Moore visits the hype :o

So what has Michael B. Jordan been up to? For one thing: reteaming with his most frequent collaborator and one of Hollywood’s most exciting new-school auteurs, the writer-director Ryan Coogler. Their latest is Sinners, due later this spring—a genre film that takes a lot of big swings and connects on most of them, and a unique showcase for Jordan the actor. But instead of mapping out where he’ll vacation after the promo tour, Jordan is thinking about 2026. He’s already deep in preproduction on his next project, a remake of The Thomas Crown Affair, which he will direct as well as star in. Our brunch at Granville is sandwiched between two important Thomas Crown meetings.

Jordan plays both brothers, holding the film together with two commanding yet distinct performances. Smoke is a somewhat classic MBJ type—taciturn, capable, determined—while Stack is slick, gregarious, quick-witted, a charmer prone to ball-busting and defusing tense situations with a wisecrack. The role(s), Coogler suggests, represent Jordan’s first time—in a Coogler film, at least—playing a character who’s already come of age. “These are fully-formed men,” the director says. “Like they are who they’re gonna be, you know what I’m saying? But also Mike has a maturity to him now, [more] than he ever has on a movie before.”


Although it’s been shrewdly marketed as a genre film, Sinners is also a statement about how Black culture in America flourishes even under constant threat from predators seeking to disrupt and subsume it. It’s fun and entertaining, yes, and often quite brutal, but also unexpectedly poignant. Coogler screened the film for me, Jordan, a few members of his team, and some Warner Bros. execs the Friday evening before we met; the next day Jordan admitted to getting a “little choked up,” even though this wasn’t his first time watching it in its entirety. (He opted to sit a couple of rows ahead of me, so I can neither confirm nor deny.)

Steinfeld was looking for a new challenge and found it in Ryan Coogler's forthcoming horror thriller, Sinners. "[Sinners] was truly something that will stay with me for the rest of my life for so many reasons, but one being that this was a role that I had been waiting for, and I hope and pray that I get to do a million more of these because I do think that's part of this next phase of life,” she says of the life-changing experience of making the film: https://whowhatwear.visitlink.me/t7Q2X2
 
Oh damn Jack O' Connell is in this aswell, been lowkey following his progression since skins and eden lake. Fantastic actor who came from humble beginnings. This film is definitely on my hit list. Can't go wrong with Coogler and MBJ separately, let alone on a project like this. The new trailer has cemented this as a day one watch, can't wait to see what has been cooked up here.
