Sinners 2025
Coogler's first original film: 1932 Clarksdale, Mississippi, where twin brothers (Michael B. Jordan in a dual role as Smoke and Stack) come home to open a juke joint the same night a centuries-old Irish vampire, Jack O'Connell, starts building his flock. Three acts: 40 minutes of Delta-blues world-building, a musical set piece that folds a century of Black and Irish music into one shot, then a survival siege, shot on IMAX 65mm and 5-perf System 65. Newcomer Miles Caton plays Preacher Boy, alongside Hailee Steinfeld, Delroy Lindo, and Wunmi Mosaku. The group reads it as a movie about temptation and who counts as a sinner; the post-credits scene is set in 1992.
