With a career in film composing that has lasted more than 40 years, Hans Zimmer has run the gamut. Despite having a distinct sound that often makes you recognize it as a Zimmer, the man’s work has range: Rain Man, The Lion King, Pirates of the Caribbean, Gladiator, Dune…But there are two franchises that Zimmer will absolutely never work within: the MCU and Star Wars.

Appearing on the Happy Sad Confused podcast, Hans Zimmer said that while he has been approached by Marvel, he had a couple of conflicts. “They have, and it was always…timing wasn’t great. And really, quite honestly, I’m looking for other things right now. Look, I’ve done the trifecta — I’ve done Batman, Superman, and Spider-Man, and Wonder Woman! I mean, what do you want me to do, some of the minor characters?” He added, “That was very arrogant of me to say that,...

It’s time to look at the work of one of the greatest directors of our generation: Christopher Nolan. How big is Nolan these days? Interstellar, a movie which was never among the director’s top grossers, hit IMAX screens last week for its tenth anniversary, and screenings have been selling out constantly. The fact is – Nolan makes movies that belong on the big-screen, and he’s one of the few directors who’s arguably become his own franchise. For proof of that, one need only look at the fact that he’s planning a new movie, and the cast is jampacked with A-listers, because Everyone wants to work with Nolan.

A caveat – our Christopher Nolan movies ranked list is just one person’s opinion, and his work is divisive. Everyone has their favourites (and least favourites), so I’m hoping this ranking will open up some discussion in the comments below.

We were hardly surprised that AMPAS’s notoriously insular and tony music branch took a hard pass on Atticus Ross and Trent Reznor’s meme-tastic, Golden Globe- and Critics’ Choice Award-winning score for Challengers. While the branch’s voters welcomed Ross-Reznor to the club long ago (they’ve won twice), one wouldn’t need to examine the history of what’s been shortlisted but snubbed too closely to know that piledriver beats that sound straight out of a poppers trainer video were probably never going to connect with the same demographic that just last year gave John Williams a record-extending 54th Oscar nomination.

.

Of course, getting the nomination is only half the battle, and for all the music branch’s efforts to keep its peers’ most unorthodox work at bay, voters at large feel less resistant these days to taking bigger swings—hence Steven Price’s Gravity beating Alexandre Desplat’s Philomena,...

In a virtual press conference held by Warner Bros. Pictures on Tuesday, January 28, filmmaker Ryan Coogler unveiled the latest trailer for his horror thriller “Sinners.” Starring Michael B. Jordan in the dual role of twin brothers Smoke and Stack, the film is set during one day in 1932 and features a whole host of elements that make it a lot more than your traditional vampire flick.

“The film is very genre fluid,” Coogler said (as per The Hollywood Reporter). “It switches in and out of a lot of different genres. Yes, vampires are an element, but it’s not the only supernatural element in the movie. The film is about more than just that.”

He views the supernatural as something intertwined with the spiritual, with “Sinners” contrasting the religious fervor shared in the light with the subversive blues culture of the time explored in the dark. In making the film, Coogler...

What do you do when you’ve been to the vast reaches of space, reversed the temporal flow, ventured into the dreamscape – and, most importantly, swept the Oscars? With a three-hour, doom-laden, politically-driven historical drama, no less? In the wake of Oppenheimer, Christopher Nolan could do basically anything. His choice: go full Homer with an adaptation of epic Greek poem The Odyssey. It should add a new quiver to the legendary director’s bow – his first swords-and-sandals epic, possibly his first fantastical film, and one that brings him a new leading man.

With pre-production rapidly ramping up on Nolan’s next movie, here’s what we know so far:

Tom Holland is said to be the lead

It’s been a while since we’ve seen Tom Holland on our screens – following Uncharted and Apple TV drama The Crowded Room, he’s been treading the boards on the West End in Romeo & Juliet.

On the heels of yesterday’s Sinners trailer drop, writer-director Ryan Coogler and star Michael B. Jordan broke down the preview for Entertainment Weekly.

Watch below as they share behind-the-story insights, hidden details you might have missed, and how they brought the new vision of fear to life.

“Playing twins was definitely a challenge,” Jordan says of his dual role as Smoke and Stack. “It was part of the reason why I wanted to take the role. Ryan really built two characters that were very much so different but were kind of the same as well.”

Sinners opens in theaters on April 18 via Warner Bros.

Trying to leave their troubled lives behind, twin brothers (Jordan) return to their hometown to start again, only to discover that an even greater evil is waiting to welcome them back.

Yesterday, a full trailer was released for Sinners, a genre picture and a period piece from frequent collaborators Ryan Coogler and Michael B. Jordan – who have worked on Fruitvale Station, Creed, Black Panther, and Black Panther: Wakanda Forever together as director and cast member, and have other collaborations that Coogler didn’t direct. Once the trailer had been unveiled, Entertainment Weekly released a video in which Coogler and Jordan break it down, and now you can watch that video in the embed above. Coogler and Jordan try to avoid spoilers in this video, but they do talk about the film’s setting (it takes place over one day in 1932) and the characters, particularly the twin brothers played Jordan.

Sinners is set up at Warner Bros., has a budget of around $90 million, and is scheduled for a theatrical release on April 18, 2025 (having moved back from a previously announced March release date...

Some Marvel fans might still be hoping for a miraculous announcement for Blade, but Ryan Coogler’s Sinners might just fill that void. The filmmaker jumps to his first original since his debut Fruitvale Station with frequent collaborator Michael B. Jordan in the upcoming horror film. The trailers have hinted at being a vampire film set in the Jim Crow era.

Coogler’s last film was MCU’s Black Panther: Wakanda Forever. The filmmaker mentioned that Sinners was far from just a vampire film and was his most personal film yet. He also credited noted filmmaker Christopher Nolan and producer Emma Thomas for guiding him through filming on IMAX cameras.

Sinners is set...

I don't believe in magic, ghosts, demons... just power."

The marketing for Ryan Coogler's Sinners has been keeping a pretty tight lid on the major plot points up until now, and some fans were growing a little impatient about the lack of undead foes in the teasers for what was originally described as a vampire movie.

Well, Warner Bros. has now released a full trailer for the Black Panther director's Jim Crow-era horror film, and it might just reveal a little too much!

The trailer gives us a much better idea of what to expect from this Southern Gothic tale, making it very clear that Michael B. Jordan's characters (he plays twin brothers) and their allies will be facing-off against some pretty terrifying-looking blood-suckers.

Towards the end of the teaser, however, things do get pretty spoiler-y.

“The film is very genre fluid,” Coogler said during an interview to...

Warner Bros Pictures’ second official trailer for Sinners seems to give away much more of the plot. The genre-bending thriller marks the fifth time Ryan Coogler and Michael B. Jordan have teamed up on a film, following their collaborations on Fruitvale Station, Creed, Marvel’s Black Panther, and Black Panther: Wakanda Forever.

Jordan pulls off dual roles, playing twins. The film also stars Oscar nominee Hailee Steinfeld (Hawkeye), Jack O’Connell (Ferrari), Wunmi Mosaku (Passenger), Jayme Lawson (The Woman King), Omar Benson Miller (True Lies), and Delroy Lindo (Da 5 Bloods).

“Trying to leave their troubled lives behind, twin brothers (Jordan) return to their hometown to start again, only to discover that an even greater evil is waiting to welcome them back,” reads Warner Bros. Pictures’ Sinners synopsis.

“It’s a love letter to the experience of watching an exhilarating movie in a packed house full of strangers, not knowing what’s going to happen next,...

From Ryan Coogler—director of “Black Panther” and “Creed”—and starring Michael B. Jordan comes a new vision of fear: Sinners. In theaters on April 18, here’s a first look at the brand new trailer.

Trying to leave their troubled lives behind, twin brothers (Jordan) return to their hometown to start again, only to discover that an even greater evil is waiting to welcome them back.

“You keep dancing with the devil, one day he’s gonna follow you home.”

As reported by The Hollywood Reporter, “At a virtual press conference for the movie’s trailer launch, Coogler, whose previous two outtings were the two Black Panther films for Marvel Studios, teased that although vampires were definitely in the film, the movie has a lot more going on.”

The film opens in theaters on April 18.

Coogler said he, “shot the movie on 65mm film, even getting advice from Christopher Nolan...

A second trailer for Ryan Coogler’s fifth directorial feature film Sinners has arrived, and there is much to sink teeth into.

The horror film centers on Michael B. Jordan’s twins who return to their hometown to escape their troubled lives, only to realize that an even bigger threat lies in wait at home. Coogler hinted that vampires wouldn’t be “the only supernatural element” the film deals with. Coogler also opened up about how personal making the film was to him.

“Each time I’ve made a film it’s become more and more personal. With this one I was digging into two relationships, one with my maternal grandfather who I never met. He died about a year before I was born,” Coogler said in a virtual press conference held by Warner Bros. yesterday. “He was from Merrill, Mississippi and eventually moved to Oakland, married my grandmother and...

It’s always a thrill when a talented filmmaker who’s worked in franchise fare for a while puts all their Hollywood brownie points into making a big, bold, original blockbuster. And while Ryan Coogler brought real identity and perspective to Creed, Black Panther, and Wakanda Forever, he’s creating something all-new with Sinners – an original vampire horror movie, with Michael B. Jordan battling fanged foes in the Deep South. In fact, the actor is Coogler’s lucky charm to such an extent that he’s in Sinners twice, playing twin brothers fighting for survival. Check out the trailer here:

Compared to the last Sinners trailer, which held back from confirming the film’s creatures as full-blown vamps, this one makes it explicit: our heroes are battling blood-suckers, with Jack O’Connell and Hailee Steinfeld among the undead. And the film looks to draw a line between the roots of blues music,...

Last year, it was revealed that frequent collaborators Ryan Coogler and Michael B. Jordan – who have worked on Fruitvale Station, Creed, Black Panther, and Black Panther: Wakanda Forever together as director and cast member, and have other collaborations that Coogler didn’t direct – had been developing a new project in secret. Coogler has written the script for this project, which is called Sinners and has been described as both a genre picture and a period piece. The project is set up at Warner Bros., has a budget of around $90 million, and is scheduled for a theatrical release on April 18, 2025 (having moved back from a previously announced March release date). With that date swiftly approaching, a full trailer has arrived online and can be seen in the embed above.

Ryan Coogler has finally come clean about Sinners, his mysterious upcoming movie.

The Warner Bros. movie stars frequent Coogler collaborator Michael B. Jordan and hits theaters April 18. And while during the casting stage of the buzzy production many speculated it was a period vampire piece, the studio and Coogler camps strongly insinuated it was more than that.

At a virtual press conference for the movie’s trailer launch, Coogler, whose previous two outtings were the two Black Panther films for Marvel Studios, teased that although vampires were definitely in the film, the movie has a lot more going on.

“The film is very genre fluid,” Coogler said. “It switches in and out of a lot of different genres. Yes vampires are an element, but it’s not the only supernatural element in the movie. The film is about more than just that.”

The filmmaker dropped hints about certain archetypes that populate the movie,...

Warner Bros. Pictures has released the new trailer and poster for the Sinners movie, which will open in North American theaters on April 18, 2025.

The highly anticipated supernatural horror reteams Black Panther and Creed director Ryan Coogler with actor Michael B. Jordan.

“You keep dancing with the devil, one day he’s gonna follow you home.” Jordan plays twin brothers who try to leave their troubled lives behind and return to their hometown to start again, only to discover that an even greater evil is waiting to welcome them back.

Written and directed by Academy Award-nominated filmmaker Ryan Coogler, the Sinners movie stars Michael B. Jordan (Black Panther and Creed franchises), Oscar nominee Hailee Steinfeld, Jack O’Connell (Ferrari), Wunmi Mosaku (Passenger), Jayme Lawson (The Woman King), Omar Benson Miller (True Lies) and Delroy Lindo (Da 5 Bloods).

Presented by Warner Bros. Pictures, the Proximity Media production is produced by Coogler and...

From Fruitvale Station to Black Panther: Wakanda Forever, Ryan Coogler has established himself as one of the most vital voices in filmmaking over the past 12 years, and now he's stepping into the world of horror with his latest film, Sinners. Ahead of the movie's April 18th release in theaters, Warner Bros. revealed a new trailer for Sinners that sinks its teeth into visceral scares and unveils the vampiric side of its chilling and emotional story.

Daily Dead recently took part in a virtual Sinners trailer preview event with Ryan Coogler hosted by Juju Green. During the insightful conversation about Sinners, Coogler discussed how this film is especially a personal project for him:

My maternal grandfather is from Mississippi. And my uncle James, who passed away while I was finishing up Creed, was also from Mississippi. And it was a place I had never been. My maternal grandfather passed before I was born.

Last year, a secret genre project was in development from Ryan Coogler and Michael B. Jordan. The project had the studios in Hollywood excited to bid against each other and Warner Bros. would come out on top. The second trailer is due to hit later today. But before then, Warner Bros. has released a new poster of the film featuring Michael B. Jordan with some ominous-looking figures.

Coogler has written the script for this project, which has been described as both a genre picture and a period piece. The project is set up at Warner Bros., has a budget of around $90 million, and is scheduled for a theatrical release on April 18, 2025 (having moved back from a previously announced March release date). Over the holidays, a new teaser (which still has the old release date) was unveiled, as embedded at the top of the article.

Oscar-nominated artisans Kris Bowers (“The Wild Robot”), Clément Ducol and Camille (“Emilia Perez), Paul Tazewell (“Wicked”) and Judy Becker (“The Brutalist”) are among the recipients being honored at Variety’s Artisans Awards.

Variety’s 11th annual Artisans Awards is set to take place on Feb. 8 at the Santa Barbara Film Festival.

The festival will be dedicated to Los Angeles. Earlier this month, devastating wildfires affected nearly 200,000 residents and burnt thousands of homes and structures. In a statement, the festival’s creative director Roger Durling said, “As the tragic events in our sister city of Los Angeles were unfolding, we debated about moving forward with Sbiff. Film has always been a conduit for comfort and renewal, and film festivals play a vital role in fostering a sense of connection. Festivals build community, and create an outlet for the process of feelings. In light of this, it became clear that we must...

Before Black Panther 3, Ryan Coogler is all set to impress the viewers with a horror flick, titled Sinners. He will reunite with his Black Panther villain, Michael B. Jordan, who will be playing a dual role in this film. Coogler’s production company Proximity Media is behind the film and it began development a year ago in January 2025.

The film is based on Coogler’s original idea and he also serves as the writer of the project. The film is reportedly a period genre vampire film. Warner Bros. won the bidding war for the distribution rights, beating Sony and Universal to it. The film recently announced a delay in its release date owing to post-production issues.

The 82nd Golden Globe Awards have wrapped and the complete 2025 Golden Globes winners list has been revealed. We now know just how much momentum the leading films have going into the rest of Oscar season, what to keep an eye on over the summer in the lead-up to the Emmys, and that host Nikki Glaser may well become one of Hollywood’s go-to emcees.

“Emilia Pérez,” Jacques Audiard’s Mexico-set Netflix musical, won the most prizes of any film with four: Best Motion Picture — Musical or Comedy, Best Non-English Language Film, Best Supporting Actress for Zoe Saldaña, and Best Original Song “El Mal.” There’s still a full two months of awards season left, but the stage sure seems set for “Emilia Pérez” to be going head to head with “The Brutalist” for Best Picture at the Oscars. Brady Corbet’s multi-hour immigrant drama won the Golden Globe for Best Motion Picture — Drama,...

Five years after winning Best Picture with Parasite, director Bong has finally returned with Mickey 17. This one has taken a long, strange trip to the theater – first scheduled for release in 2024, before landing a January 31, 2025 release date following the writers’ and actors’ strikes last year.

Alejandro G. Iñárritu’s first English-language film since “The Revenant” has a release date — and fans of Tom Cruise’s return to auteur-driven fare have a reason to look forward to October 2, 2026. And even more cause to celebrate: Plot details are finally available. According to a Warner Bros. release, “The most powerful man in the world embarks on a frantic mission to prove he is humanity’s savior before the disaster he’s unleashed destroys everything.”

The untitled project marks the director’s latest collaboration with his “Birdman” co-writers Alexander Dinelaris and Nicolas Giacobone, with Sabina Berman also sharing a screenwriting credit. Cruise leads a cast that includes Sandra Hüller, John Goodman, Michael Stuhlbarg, Jesse Plemons, Sophie Wilde, and Riz Ahmed.

Of note: “The Batman II” was initially announced for an October 2, 2026, release. It moves to October 1, 2027.

The upcoming movie from Warner Bros. Pictures and Legendary Entertainment follows “the most powerful man in the world,” according to a logline for the project, who takes on a mission to prove he’s the savior to humanity before it’s too late.

Last week, Young Jedi Adventures received four The Children's & Family Emmy Awards nominations. It joins a respectful list of Star Wars animation that has received both nominations and awards from the Emmys. What other TV series have been honored by the Academy?

Here is every Star Wars Emmy Award win or nomination

As early 2013, Star Wars: The Clone Wars received several nominations and awards for both animation and children's programming for the Daytime Emmys. It was nominated 15 times during its run and won five times during that span. The wins included winning Outstanding Special Class Animated Program twice.

David Tennant, who has voiced the droid Huyang on The Clone Wars, Ahsoka, and Young Jedi Adventures, won Outstanding Performer in an Animated Program in 2013 for voicing the character during the series's fifth season. Tennant was not the only actor to be honored by the Emmys. Jim Cummings, Mark Hamill, and Sam Witwer...

Star Wars: Skeleton Crew has an easily missed yet no less impressive connection to Rogue One: A Star Wars Story. Skeleton Crew, Star Wars’ latest live-action series on Disney+, follows a group of kids who, after finding an abandoned ship on their home planet, find themselves lost in space, surrounded by dangerous pirates with no way to get home. Skeleton Crew’s story couldn’t be more different from Rogue One’s, which chronicles the sacrifices made by those in the Rebellion to ensure the Empire’s Death Star could one day be destroyed. And yet, the two Disney-era Star Wars properties are connected.

Music has always been a vital part of Star Wars’ success. John Williams’ iconic scores for the Skywalker saga movies are some of the most important pieces of film music ever composed, and the importance of music in the Star Wars universe has never diminished. When Disney+ came around,...

Christopher Nolan's reputation in Hollywood means that with almost no details, his next film is already being closely examined, but one major detail is still yet to be revealed. Nolan has directed just 12 feature films in his 25-year-long career as a Hollywood director, but with almost every new release, the director has received widespread critical acclaim. Many of his films go on to win an impressive collection of rewards, among the most prestigious awards shows in Hollywood.

He has also proven his ability to innovate and be creative across a variety of genres, from sci-fi, to historical drama and even superhero movies. And in all of these projects, he is renowned for casting exceptionally talented actors, and then bringing out the very best performance from them, to the extent that they go on to win their first Oscars under his direction, and their careers are transformed from being stuck in a single typecast,...

On Friday, Nov. 8, Oscar contender “Challengers” received a Grammy nomination for Best Score Soundtrack For Visual Media. This specific music category is awarded to the composers of an original score — in this case, Trent Reznor and Atticus Ross — that is created specifically for film or television or other visual media. The Amazon MGM Studios production is also currently predicted to receive an Oscar bid for Best Score, and all of this attention could certainly boost its chances.

The other four nominees at the 2025 Grammys for Best Score Soundtrack For Visual Media are “American Fiction” by Laura Karpman, “The Color Purple” by Kris Bowers, “Dune: Part Two” by Hans Zimmer, and “Shōgun” by Nick Chuba, Atticus Ross, and Leopold Ross. Yes, that means Atticus Ross is competing against himself.

Because of the different eligibility periods for the Grammys and the Oscars, “American Fiction” and “The Color Purple” actually competed at last year’s Academy Awards.

With past winners including Beyoncé, Prince, and Michael Jackson, the R&b field at the Grammys has given us a great taste of some of the best music ever made. This year the field is quite competitive, so there will likely be a few surprising snubs coming due to how dense it is.

Muni Long’s “Made for Me (Live)” is the probable winner in Best R&b Performance. The track is arguably the biggest R&b hit of the year in terms of urban radio and streaming, similar to Muni’s previous Grammy winner, “Hrs and Hrs.” The original version of “Made for Me” was actually submitted last year, before it really became a hit, therefore making it ineligible this year, hence her submitting a live version. Still, all the goodwill for Long could...

Hans Zimmer has been the sound of modern-day blockbusters, most notably his work on epic sci-fi and action movies. Many may know him from his work with Christopher Nolan, although Nolan has opted to work with Ludwig Göransson in his last two outings. Zimmer’s collaboration with Nolan on Inception even notably ushered in the trend of the “Bwaaam” musical sting that can be found in most trailers to help intensify and punctuate a dramatic turn.

Zimmer’s notes would be attached to Denis Villeneuve‘s Dune: Part Two this year. And his score would showcase some of his usual intensity along with some melodic, dramatic sounds, which feature the franchise’s signature female vocals. Unfortunately, Zimmer’s score for the film have not met the eligibility requirements to be nominated for an Academy Award, according to Variety. This is because the music surpasses the Academy’s limit on pre-existing music.

"Dune: Part Two" is one of the best films of 2024, a monumental achievement that seems like a shoo-in to be nominated for a swath of technical awards at the upcoming 97th Academy Awards. As of this writing, several screenings of the film are taking place throughout this week in Los Angeles, featuring director Denis Villeneuve giving Q&As after a number of them. One of these screenings includes a chat with Villeneuve and composer Hans Zimmer, moderated by the winner of Best Original Score for the 96th Academy Awards, Ludwig Göransson. It certainly seemed like Zimmer's work for "Dune: Part Two" was going to be a big part of the film's push at the Academy Awards.

Sadly, that part of the movie's awards campaign is now officially over -- at least when it comes to the Oscars specifically. According to Variety, Zimmer's score has been deemed not eligible for competition.

As per multiple reports, the Tom Holland (Spider-Man: No Way Home; Avengers: Endgame) has landed the lead role in Christopher Nolan's next epic movie, which is scheduled to begin shooting in early 2025, with an eye on a prime Summer 2026 release date. 

The fan-favorite actor was reportedly at the top of Nolan's wish list for this project and will now co-star with Academy Award-winner Matt Damon (Jason Bourne; Ford v Ferrari), who is set to reunite with Nolan for the third time in his career, after the sci-fi thriller Interstellar and last year's Best Picture winner Oppenheimer. 

Plot details on Nolan's latest film are being kept under wraps, but the film is rumored to be an action film and The Hollywood Reporter claims the setting is not present day. However, whether the film is set in the past or in the future remains a mystery. 

According to the trades, Nolan...

Poor Things composer Jerskin Fendrix was the big winner at the 2024 World Soundtrack Awards (Wsa), taking home both the film composer of the year and discovery of the year prizes.

The World Soundtrack Awards took place tonight (October 16) at the closing night of Film Fest Gent.

Poor Things was Fendrix’s first-ever film score and he went on to collaborate with Yorgos Lanthimos again on Kinds Of Kindness - both scores of which earned him the nomination.

In film composer of the year, Fendrix was up against Hans Zimmer (Dune: Part Two and The Creator); Ludwig Göransson (Oppenheimer); Anthony Willis...

Of all the below-the-line categories at the Oscars, Best Original Score is the most difficult to predict early on due to the finicky nature of the music branch of the academy. Scores that sound like frontrunners are disqualified for a variety of reasons, from the number of credited composers to the amount of previously recorded music used. (Scroll down for the most up-to-date 2025 Oscar predictions for Best Original Score.)

Starting with the 2019 Oscars, the academy released a shortlist of 15 contenders. We got this year’s roster of semi-finalists on December 17, 2024. A second round of voting by the members of the music branch, again using preferential voting, will cut these 15 down to the final five nominees. These will be announced, along with the final contenders in all of the other competitive categories on January 17. The entire voting membership of the academy will then vote for the winners, which will be revealed...

You’ve got to love that YouTube commenters are pointing out the Sinners trailer confirms Ryan Coogler and Michael B. Jordan (in a dual role) should have collaborated on a Blade film. The official trailer is an excellent example of how you tease a film without giving away the plot.

Two-time Oscar nominee Coogler and Jordan reunite for the fourth time following their successes on Fruitvale Station, Creed, and Marvel’s Black Panther. The cast also includes Oscar nominee Hailee Steinfeld (Hawkeye), Jack O’Connell (Ferrari), Wunmi Mosaku (Passenger), Jayme Lawson (The Woman King), Omar Benson Miller (True Lies), and Delroy Lindo (Da 5 Bloods).

“Trying to leave their troubled lives behind, twin brothers (Jordan) return to their hometown to start again, only to discover that an even greater evil is waiting to welcome them back,” reads Warner Bros. Pictures’ Sinners synopsis.

Coogler, Sev Ohanian, and Zinzi Coogler serve as producers,...

Michael B. Jordan is back in action with his “Black Panther” writer/director Ryan Coogler.

The trailer for “Sinners,” the highly-anticipated vampire movie from the MCU duo, is officially out years before the long-awaited “Blade” remake. “Sinners” has been positioned as the non-mcu-sanctioned take on the “Blade” comics. While Coogler has made two Marvel films (the “Black Panther” features), “Sinners” is entirely separate from the franchise — and probably for the best.

Marvel’s “Blade” starring Mahershala Ali was first announced in 2019. Since then, it’s had a rotating door of writers and directors.

Coogler and Jordan first collaborated on “Fruitvale Station,” and then moved on to “Creed.” Jordan later made his directorial debut with “Creed III.”

“Sinners,” again written and directed by Coogler, centers on twin brothers — both played by Jordan — who return to their New Orleans hometown to start again, only to discover that an even greater evil is waiting to welcome them back.

Thirty-five years after Warner Bros. danced with the devil in the pale moonlight, the studio has added another satanic statement to its storied history courtesy of Ryan Coogler and Michael B. Jordan: “If you keep dancing with the devil, one day he’s going to follow you home.”

That’s the key theme espoused by the first trailer for “Sinners,” Coogler’s first film since “Black Panther: Wakanda Forever” and his latest collaboration with Jordan following “Fruitvale Station,” “Creed,” and the “Black Panther” films.

Set in the 1930s Jim Crow South, “Sinners” is a supernatural horror thriller where a mysterious terror menaces a small town and its residents – particularly twin brothers (both played by Jordan). Here’s the official synopsis, provided by Warner Bros.:

Trying to leave their troubled lives behind, twin brothers (Jordan) return to their hometown to start again, only to discover that an even greater...

Sinners: "From Ryan Coogler—director of “Black Panther” and “Creed”—and starring Michael B. Jordan comes a new vision of fear: “Sinners.”

Trying to leave their troubled lives behind, twin brothers (Jordan) return to their hometown to start again, only to discover that an even greater evil is waiting to welcome them back.

“You keep dancing with the devil, one day he’s gonna follow you home.”

Written and directed by Academy Award-nominated filmmaker Coogler, “Sinners” stars Jordan (the “Black Panther” and “Creed” franchises) in a dual role, joined by Oscar nominee Hailee Steinfeld, Jack O’Connell (“Ferrari”), Wunmi Mosaku (“Passenger”), Jayme Lawson (“The Woman King”), Omar Benson Miller (“True Lies”) and Delroy Lindo (“Da 5 Bloods”).

The film is produced by Coogler and frequent collaborators Sev Ohanian and Zinzi Coogler. The executive producers are Ludwig Göransson, Will Greenfield and Rebecca Cho.

Warner Bros has released the first trailer for Ryan Coogler’s highly anticipated Sinners. Check it out below.

Just a day after we learned the official title and some plot details for Ryan Coogler’s next film, a trailer has appeared online. And it’s a good one too.

Check out the Sinners trailer below.

Delroy Lindo, Hailee Steinfeld, Wunmi Mosaku and Jack O’Connell join Jordan in the film’s cast and Coogler is bringing a lot of his Black Panther collaborators, such as composer Ludwig Göransson, and costume designer Ruth E Carter to help him realise his vision.

Granted, there’s no actual vampire action in the Sinners trailer. Warner Bros is likely saving that for later trailers or maybe even the big screen itself. If anything, the crowd approaching a bar, presumably where Jordan and the rest of the townsfolk are hiding, resemble the slow-walking zombies of George A Romero’s films.

Ryan Coogler has put Michael B. Jordan in the boxing ring and transported him to Wakanda. Now he is putting him in an entirely new situation in the first trailer for Sinners, the vampire feature coming from Warner Bros.

In the mysterious preview, Jordan’s Smoke says via voiceover, “I’ve been all over this world. I’ve seen men die in ways, I ain’t even know was possible.”

He adds, over footage of people running from some unseen danger and someone showing up at church with their face scratched, “Of all the things that I’ve seen, I ain’t ever seen no demons, no ghosts, no magic — ’til now.”

The trailer ends with Jordan leading a group of people ready to fight as a preacher says, “You keep dancing with the devil, and one day he’s going to follow you home.”

The synopsis, which teases a “new vision of fear,...

“Sinners” is near.

The new Ryan Coogler film, which stars his longtime collaborator Michael B. Jordan, isn’t coming out until March 7, 2025 and has been shrouded in secrecy ever since cameras rolled. But a brand new teaser trailer, which you can watch below, is enough to give us a good idea of what to expect. And it is wild.

In “Sinners,” Jordan plays twin vampire brothers who return to their hometown in an attempt to start over. Once there, they discover something even more evil has taken root – the Ku Klux Klan (Jack O’Connell plays the evil racist baddie). The movie is set in 1930s Jim Crow South, with production taking place in New Orleans earlier this year — but this being a Coogler film, it’s filled with the kind of rich detail that brings history to life. And the concept both feels fun and cool while also rich enough...
