""When I met up with Michael B. Jordan at the Warner Bros. studios in Burbank before a late-night event on the lot, he seemed exhausted and understandably so. The always-in-demand actor, one of Hollywood's hottest talents, was just back from Europe, where he spent a year directing, acting and producing a new version of the heist thriller The Thomas Crown Affair.""
"He'll need that energy as he moves through awards season, promoting Sinners. His performance in the horror film has made him a Best Actor in a Motion Picture - Drama contender at the Golden Globes this weekend and has sparked early Oscar buzz. In the film, he plays twins Smoke and Stack. They are identical twins, World War I veterans and Chicago mob enforcers who own a juke joint in the Jim Crow South."
""He's really playing two roles, he's got to play Smoke, and he's got to play Stack. And spoiler alert: he plays vampire Stack, too." At times, the SmokeStack twins appear onscreen together and in one key scene, they even fight each other."
Michael B. Jordan returned from a year in Europe directing, acting and producing a version of The Thomas Crown Affair and is promoting Sinners while moving through awards season. He portrays identical twins Smoke and Stack, World War I veterans and Chicago mob enforcers who own a juke joint in the Jim Crow South and confront a town filled with vampires. The performance generated Golden Globe Best Actor - Drama contention and early Oscar buzz. Ryan Coogler and co-star Wunmi Mosaku praise Jordan's dual-role work, noting detailed physical differentiation; Jordan used a half-size too-small shoe to make Stack feel uneasy.
