What is the Title of Ryan Coogler’s Upcoming Period Vampire Thriller?
The film is titled Sinners and will be hitting theaters and IMAX in March 2025, distributed by Warner Bros. Pictures.
What is the Plot of Sinners?
Sinners is described as a period thriller centered on vampires, with Jordan portraying twins. Ryan Coogler has both written the script and will direct the movie.
“Trying to leave their troubled lives behind, twin brothers (Michael B. Jordan) return to their hometown to start again, only to discover that an even greater evil is waiting to welcome them back.”
The plot follows twin vampires, both played by Jordan, who arrive in a racist town and go to war against Ku Klux Klan members. Set in the middle of the 1930s during the height of Jim Crow South, the film tackles the racial tensions of the era. Sinners has a budget of around $90 million, and we can expect the first trailer to be released in October 2024.
Filming began in April 2024 in New Orleans under the working title Grilled Cheese and wrapped in July 2024. Some set images featuring Jordan were leaked during production.
The cast also includes Jayme Lawson, Wunmi Mosaku, Delroy Lindo, Omar Benson Miller, Li Jun Li, Jack O’Connell, Lola Kirke, Yao, Miles Caton, Peter Dreimanis, and Christian Robinson.
Produced by Coogler, Zinzi Coogler, and Sev Ohanian via Proximity Media, the film features composer Ludwig Göransson, along with executive producers Rebecca Cho and Will Greenfield. Göransson, known for his collaboration with Coogler and his Oscar-winning work on Black Panther, also received an Oscar for his score on Christopher Nolan’s Oppenheimer.
Sinners is scheduled to hit theaters and IMAX on March 7, 2025, by Warner Bros. Pictures.
