Written and directed by Academy Award-nominated filmmaker Ryan Coogler, Sinners tells the story of dual brothers who return to their hometown to start out once more, solely to find that a fair better evil is ready to welcome them again. Each brothers are performed by Michael B. Jordan, who has beforehand labored with Coogler on Creed and Black Panther. Oh, and that evil that adopted them house? It seems to be to be vampires.
Whereas particulars are scarce, Selection confirmed that Sinners is “based mostly on an unique script by Coogler, with the venture set within the Thirties Jim Crow era-South and filmed earlier this yr within the New Orleans space.” However we expect it’s vampires based mostly on a number of components. One, the setting solar on the poster. Most vampire lore has vampires popping out within the lifeless of the night time because of the hostile have an effect on the solar has on them. Then there’s part of the trailer the place you see a person badly burned, like what we’ve seen in different films when vampires react to the solar.
Extra on the vampire of all of it, there’s additionally the truth that we have now a scene the place over a dozen folks hit up a membership at night time to assault it with Jordan sitting within the daylight at first of the trailer like nothing. He’s shaking and petrified of what occurred, having flashbacks as he tries to make a cigarette. However he’s happy with being out within the daylight, not constantly turning his head to verify behind him.
There’s additionally one thing very curious in regards to the trailer for Sinners and the poster. We solely see the dual brother within the first seconds, earlier than they go on a hunt. After which we by no means see Jordan come nose to nose with himself once more when he returns house. Couple that with the poster exhibiting a solar dividing the brothers, one with a sinister grin, we expect that the synopsis is a pink herring. One brother made it house. One didn’t. And the one who didn’t is a vampire.
