SINNERS: New Plot Details For Ryan Coogler's Vampire Movie Emerge Following Test-Screening - SPOILERS

Some new story details for Black Panther director Ryan Coogler's mysterious horror thriller, Sinners, following a recent test-screening...

A test-screening for Black Panther director Ryan Cooger's Depression-era vampire movie, Sinners, reportedly took place last week, and World of Reel has now shared a report on the consensus from those in attendance.

Though major plot details are not divulged, there will be some spoilers from this point on.

First off, the response to the movie seems to be somewhat tepid. While Michael B. Jordan's performance in a dual role came in for a lot of praise, the majority of people who got to see the film felt that it was merely "fine" or "decent." It also seems that initial reports that Jordan is playing vampire brothers were not accurate.

One of the brothers embarks on a relationship with Hailee Steinfeld's character, who sounds like she may ultimately turn out to be a villain.

According to WOR, "The actual plot has to do with twin brothers, Elijah and Elias (Jordan), who try to leave their troubled lives behind and head south, after spending years in Capone-inflicted Chicago. They return to their hometown, where slavery was recently abolished, but the KKK still looms large."

From what we can gather, the vampire element will emerge from within the KKK themselves. The ending is also expected to lead to "a lot of controversy," though we don't have much more to go on.

Back when we first heard about this project, it was said to be so top secret that "executives and buyers were forced to make the pilgrimage to the Beverly Hills offices of WME, the agency that represents Coogler and Jordan, in order to take a gander at the script," but some details have since leaked.

The film was initially described as a "genre feature," with a "period element to the story," and we'd later learn that it was actually going to be set in Jim Crow-era South and possibly involve both vampires and Southern supernatural traditions.

Coogler also penned the script and is on board as lead producer along with Zinzi Coogler and Sev Ohanian.

Coogler's last feature was Marvel Studios Black Panther: Wakanda Forever, which saw Jordan reprise his role as Erik Killmonger for an afterlife cameo. Last we heard, the filmmaker was working on a third Black Panther instalment, but there's been no official word on his progress. Coogler is also said to be involved in at least one planned small-screen BP spin-off, and was recently rumored as a possible contender to helm Avengers: Secret Wars.

The filmmaker is also taking charge of an X-Files reboot for the Disney-owned 20th Century Studios, so he's going to be very busy over the next couple of years.

"The ending is also expected to lead to 'a lot of controversy...'"

That sounds a bit ominous.

This source seems to have a spotty track record when reporting news but even IF true I still have faith Coogler will deliver a classic film.

This source’s record seems to be all over the place. Test screenings are meant to allow filmmakers to get a fresh pair of eyes on their work, make them take in some feedback. Not necessarily a bad thing. Sometimes.

"head south, after spending years in Capone-inflicted Chicago. They return to their hometown, where slavery was recently abolished"

What kind of baiting bullsh!t is that?? Slavery recently abolished? This is over 70 years after slavery was abolished.

@DocSpock - agree that this could seem weird given the time period it takes place but era newspapers are great for this stuff. Post war stories of enslaved not knowing they were free for another 30 or so years were a little common, no lie. After the Civil War, a system often called "neoslavery" continued to exist in the South, where formerly enslaved people were exploited through various mechanisms like sharecropping, debt peonage, and violence, essentially keeping them trapped in a system like slavery. Could also be revisionist history the movie is utilizing too. A single town with a district, notorious history.

All that being said, the description by the source seems faulty and little confusing too.

@MisterBones -

All good points, but I think it's just stupidity at work by whatever moron typed that. Also, they had to include the word slavery of course.

@DocSpock - man...slavery is le bad

Wow! That is one bold stance there. You should tell everyone slavery is bad so they will all know.

The details in the full article sound alright as of now so we’ll see…

I’m not too worried about the mixed-ish response to the film apparently since it is from test screenings which are done to gauge audience reactions so they can fix whatever problems or issues they have.

The teaser certainly intrigued and I like Coogler , MBJ and the rest of the cast enough to give it a shot!!.

More anti white garbage while still being dependent on works created by white people.

@HermanM - What part of this feels anti white to you? Do you think the KKK shouldn’t be portrayed? Or should they be heroes?
TheWinkler
TheWinkler - 10/6/2024, 3:44 PM
@HermanM - Sooooo, do you consider films like Django Unchained "anti-white garbage", or does it get a pass cause a white guy directed it? Or is that just magically the only Tarantino film you don't like, while doggy riding the rest of his filmography as solid?
HermanM
HermanM - 10/6/2024, 4:35 PM
@TheWinkler - yep I do. Would Hollywood make a movie where the hero says a line like: "Kill black people and get paid for it? What's not to like?"
HermanM
HermanM - 10/6/2024, 4:36 PM
@OmegaBlack13 - does hollywood ever take the same approach to nonwhite supremacist groups?
