Ryan Coogler & Michael B. Jordan vampire film "Sinners"

GOAT talk

 

[Dr. Narcisse]

"What can you tell me about your next movie, Ryan Coogler’s “Sinners” in which you star with Michael B. Jordan and Hailee Steinfeld?

They bound us to secrecy, but what I will say is that when you see “Sinners,” this film is so creative it’s going to be hard to put it in one genre. On its nose, it’s a horror film. But when you see the film, man, it’s a musical, it’s a comedy, it’s a drama. There’s historic components to it. And it is going to either be absolutely brilliant or it’s going to be: “Man, what were they going for?” And I’m betting on it to be the former, because that kid and that cast and that group that he’s working with, we all got to put something down. It felt special.”

That's how art is supposed to be....you take chances & risks

 

[Ironman]

I'll wait for the movie

 

[Silver Surfer]

Fingers crossed, but Coogler might not be that guy

You don't think Coogler has earned the benefit of the doubt?

 

[BlackMajik]

I gotta say, I ain't trying to hear no musical comedy shyt bruh

Like forreal this needs to be a straight up horror

 

[Ironman]

I will say the musical mention certainly had mebut gotta wait and see

 

[Dr. Narcisse]

I mean this film will tell us a lot about Coogler as a writer.

I think he's 4/4 with his films, but this tell us if he's going to another stratosphere or not. Or if he's peaked.

Why? Get Out was loved and that's a comedy as much as it is a thriller. If weaved correctly it could keep the film from being too dour and still entertaining.

I will say the musical mention certainly had mebut gotta wait and see

I look at it like this. Its the 1930s and they look like blues musicians. I expect a few songs in the spot they at.

Reminds me of how The Harder They Fall had a song in the saloon and that was a western.

excluding the horror
Sounds like a young Spike Lee joint
School Daze was a mixture of everything above
So was Harlem Nights directed by Eddie
A lot of nikkas are either too young to know how black directors and visionaries got down before the 90 gangsta movies
Or praying for a downfall
I saw the same thing happen with Jordan Peele on this forum and irl
You got Get Out at home
Sometimes you gotta pop out with actual art and what’s in your heart
Good, Bad or indifferent

Bro makes aesthetically decent yet mid films.

I feel this is his make or break movie to see where he stands as a filmmaker. Is he just a serviceable director who uses cinematography as a crutch or is he creative as a writer/visionary, etc.

We shall see.

I mean technically speaking.....From Dusk till Dawn is a horror comedy with an extended music scene. Ok Salma Hayek is stripping, but she's dancing for 4 minutes with her clothes on. If they do that movie with a black cast, and swap out Salma Hayek with Hailee Steinfeld it's ok with me

Edit: I don't expect the movie to be like this.

 

[BaileyPark31]

I'm still impressed by Fruitvale Station.

I'm hoping this moving works out for him.

Unless it’s nikkas dancing on the table and winking at the camera breaking the fourth wall shyt, yall will be okay
