Ryan Coogler's grandfather inspired his ambitious new vampire movie 'Sinners'
Briefly

Ryan Coogler's latest film, "Sinners," diverges from prior adaptations, bringing forth an original story that blends genres. Featuring identical twins played by Michael B. Jordan, the film depicts their journey from the Chicago underworld back to Mississippi to run a juke joint, where mayhem ensues with the arrival of vampires. Praised for its cinematography and music, "Sinners" not only delivers entertainment but also explores themes like religion and the blues' cultural significance. Coogler's commitment to owning the film's rights and its heartfelt storytelling underlines its artistic ambition.
Coogler's fifth feature, "Sinners," marks the first time the director is working with a completely original concept, and it's an ambitious, genre-hopping ride.
With eye-popping cinematography of the Mississippi Delta and a moving score from Coogler's longtime collaborator Ludwig Göransson, "Sinners" is full of well-executed big ideas.
