Ryan Coogler’s new film ‘Sinners’ is a tribute to his late Uncle James. The film represents Coogler’s first venture into the horror genre, expanding his already diverse filmmaking portfolio.

Ryan Coogler has become synonymous with the Black Panther movies since the director helmed both the landmark Best Picture nominee and its 2022 sequel. Yet, this year, he has one of the highly-anticipated upcoming horror movies on the way.

The filmmaker reveals the help Christopher Nolan gave him on the feature, which yes — has vampires — but is described as “genre fluid.”

Black Panther and Creed director Ryan Coogler reunites with longtime collaborator Michael B. Jordan for Sinners, one of the most anticipated thrillers of the year. The director's first foray into horror, it's also a genre film shrouded in mystery, with rumours of vampires and Mississippi blues swirling around the internet.
